To explain:
The reason why kidney requires so much energy to function.
Introduction:
The excretory system includes organs that eliminate
Explanation of Solution
The resting metabolic value for the kidney is high for the reason that kidney needs an abundance of mitochondria to offer sufficient energy to allow it to eliminate waste from the blood, reabsorb nutrients, adjust the balance of electrolytes, and fluid, keep acid-base homeostasis, and control blood pressure. Kidneys should use energy to reclaim all the substances that were pressure out of the blood via filtration. Since these materials are at a high concentration in the blood, energy should be used for the active transport of these substances to return into the blood.
Thus, the kidney required so much energy to function.
