Question
Chapter 6.3, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of removal of ions from the kidney on the red blood cells (RBCs).
Introduction:
The solute concentrations of two solutions that are separated by the membrane can be classified as the isotonic solution, hypertonic solution, and hypotonic solution. The solution having the lower concentration of the solute in comparison to the other solution is called hypotonic solution.

A person in liver failure is deficient in large proteins usually found in the plasma. Whatwill happen to fluid in the extracellular space (interstitial space)? Why? How will thisaffect the appearance of the patient?
What substances are secreted? List the mechanisms bywhich these substances are transported.
In a nondividing cell such as a liver cell, why mustthe flow of membrane between compartments be bal-anced, so that the retrieval pathways match the outwardflow? Would you expect the same balanced flow in a gutepithelial cell, which is actively dividing?

- Here is a chloride cell in the gill epithelium of a fish. For reference, NKA = Na+/K+ ATPaseNKCC = Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter. (image 1) The same proteins have been identified in shark rectal gland, marine birds and reptiles (salt glands in nostrils), marine fishes (chloride cells in their gills) and mammals that transport salt in their kidneys. (image 2) When biologists were testing the mechanism of salt excretion in sharks, they used a chemical called ouabain to inhibit the Na+/K+ ATPase to see if there was an effect. Which result would you expect to see with ouabain treatment? A. A decrease in Cl- in the epithelial cells. B. An increase in ADP in the epithelial cells. C. An increase in K+ in the epithelial cells. D. A decrease in Na+ in the epithelial cells.arrow_forwardA person consumes 100 μg of a tracer chemical. Assume that the person is able to collect all of the tracer in their urine (and therefore measure the amount that has come out of the body), as well as the concentration in the blood, as a function of time (see table).
