It works much like your real kidneys.

Your kidneys work essentially with a "Salt imbalance". One half of a kidney has a higher saline content than the other half; when blood passes through, urea is "pulled" into the saltier side.

Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?

Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.

What is the isotonic solution for Urea?

The isotonic solution for Urea would be a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as a cell. This concentration would typically be around 0.15 M for Urea.


How do you think the waste substances in the blood such as urea is removed from the blood through dialysis?

The kidneys rem ove urea and other toxic wastes from the blood, form ing a dilute solution called urine in the process. The two kidneys have a very extensive blood supply and the whole blood supply passes through the kidneys every 5 m i nutes, ensuring that waste m a terials do not build up. The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, while the renal vein carries blood, now with f a r lower concentrations of urea and m i neral ions, aw ay from the kidney. The urine form ed passes down the ureter to the bladder . Ureter (u rin e o u t )


Is aqueous solution of urea a conductor?

No, an aqueous solution of urea does not conduct electricity because urea molecules do not dissociate into ions in water. Therefore, it is a non-electrolyte solution.


Is urea a base in water but acid in liquid ammonia?

Is nitrogenous waste removed from blood by filtration?

Yes, nitrogenous waste, such as urea, is removed from the blood by filtration in the kidneys. As blood passes through the kidneys, waste products are filtered out into the urine, which is then excreted from the body.
