Nitrogen metabolism

Nitrogen metabolism is the synthesis, utilization or uptake, breakdown, and excretion of nitrogenous compounds in the body. The nitrogen metabolism encompasses nitrogen fixation, biosynthesis, and the breakdown of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidine. Since nitrogen-containing compounds are required for various life processes, nitrogen is an important element of life.

The immediate effect of ADH on the renal tubules of frogs and mice is the same, yet when ADH is secreted, frogs produce urine that is approximately isosmotic to their blood plasma, whereas mice produce urine far more concentrated than their blood plasma. Explain this difference in terms of the factors affecting osmosis in the kidneys of frogs and mice.
When the kidneys filter plasma, the filtered glucose is reabsorbed from the renal tubules and is not passed in the urine. However, glucose can appear in the urine when the blood sugar is exceptionally high. Given that glucose is reabsorbed by carrier-mediated transport, what functional aspect of carrier-mediated transport does the appearance of glucose in urine demonstrate? Explain.

One type of diuretic given to people with high blood pressure, renal disease and congestive heart failure are thiazide-type diuretics. These drugs inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by inhibiting the transport in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A) What does it mean to inhibit the transport of sodium ions in the loop of Henle? B) Explain how this inhibition of sodium ions in the loop of Henle could help increase urine production.
