What processes prevent glucose from being excreted in the urine?

Glucose reabsorption in the kidneys prevents it from being excreted in urine. This reabsorption process occurs in the renal tubules, where glucose is actively transported back into the bloodstream. If blood glucose levels are too high, such as in diabetes, the renal threshold for glucose reabsorption may be exceeded and glucose can then be excreted in the urine.


Why is it important that you develop the habit of eliminating urine as soon as you get the signal that the bladder is ready to release it?

Emptying the bladder promptly prevents urinary tract infections, which can occur when urine sits in the bladder and bacteria have the chance to multiply. Holding in urine for too long can also weaken the bladder muscles over time, leading to issues such as incontinence or urinary retention.


How do conifers make the soil they grow in too acidic for other plants to grow?

q Conifers make the soil they grow in too acidic for other plants too grow because when they let their needles die and fall to the soil, those needles have acidic substances so it goes into the soil making other plants not grow


How do the kidneys help to prevent blood pH from rising?

If blood pH is too low (ph < 7.35 ) = acidosis If blood pH is too high (pH > 7.45) = alkalosis In alkalosis: at the intercalated cells of the collecting duct the following occurs: secretion of Hco3- (via Hco3- / cl- antiporters) into the glomerular filtrate, which ultimately forms the urine. Rebsorption of Hydrogen ions (via ATPase dependant proton pumps)


Do the tubule cells of the kidneys excrete bicarbonate ions and retain hydrogen ions become to acidic?

Yes, the tubule cells of the kidneys can secrete bicarbonate ions and retain hydrogen ions to help regulate blood pH when it becomes too acidic. This process occurs in the renal tubules as part of the kidney's role in maintaining acid-base balance in the body.

How does a buffer keep a solution from becoming too acidic?

Human blood normally has a pH of about 7.4.Certain chemical reactions within your cells can lead to an increase in the amount of H+ ions.When these ions move into the blood,buffers take up some of them,preventing the blood from becoming acidic enough to endanger cell function.

Can holding urine for 10 hours be harmful for an 9 year old girl?

Yes, very. Because urine is acidic, with a pH of about 6 I believe, it can cause erosion in the bladder. Holding urine is very harmful if held for too long, especially if done repeatedly. If it is only once or twice, just be careful, but any more than that it can cause a lot of harm.
