WHAT IF? Kidney failure is often treated by hemodialysis, in which blood diverted out of the body is filteredand then allowed to flow on one side of a semipermeablemembrane. Fluid called dialysate flows in the oppositedirection on the other side of the membrane. In replacingthe reabsorption and secretion of solutes in a functionalkidney, the makeup of the starting dialysate is critical.What initial solute composition would work well?

In freshwater invertebrates, salts move out of the body into the water because the animal is hypoosmotic to the water. b.

In patients with diabetes mellitus, not enough insulin is produced; as a consequence, blood glucose levels increase. If blood glucose levels rise high enough, the kidneys are unable to absorb the glucose from the glomerular filtrate, and glucose "spills over" into the urine. What effect does this glucose have on urine concentration and volume? How does the body adjust to the excess glucose in the urine?arrow_forward(2) Salt water is denser than fresh water – based on this information and your knowledge of how swim bladders work, do you expect marine fishes to have larger or smaller swim bladders than freshwater fishes?
