chloride ion normally accompanies sodium reabsorption in primary active transport
primary active transport is the main mechanism by which normal acid-base balance is maintained by the kidney
the kidney is responsible for the elimination of volatile acids
the kidney reabsorbs the vast majority of filtered water
- A. B.chloride ion normally accompanies sodium reabsorption in primary active transport
- A. B.primary active transport is the main mechanism by which normal acid-base balance is maintained by the kidney
- A. B.the kidney is responsible for the elimination of volatile acids
- A. B.the kidney reabsorbs the vast majority of filtered water
Explanation / Answer
A. Chloride ion normally accompanies sodium reabsorption in primary active transport -----> TRUE
B. Primary active transport is the main mechanism by which normal acid-base balance is maintained by the kidney ----> FALSE (Secondary active transport is the main mechanism by which normal acid-base balance is maintained by the kidney)
C. The kidney is responsible for the elimination of volatile acids -----------> FALSE ( The kidney is responsible for the elimination of non-volatile acids)
D. the kidney reabsorbs the vast majority of filtered water ---------> True
