Question

If the amount of solute excreted per minute is greater than the filtered load, then the NET effect on the solute is ________.

1) a combination of reabsorption and secretion in the renal tubules
2) an absence of secretion in the renal tubules
3) an absence of reabsorption in the renal tubules
4) secretion into the renal tubules
5) reabsorption from the renal tubules

Answer 1

the correct option is: 4) secretion into the renal tubules

If the amount of solute excreted per minute is greater than the filtered load, it implies that there is an additional contribution of the solute to the urine beyond what was initially filtered by the glomerulus. This suggests that there is a net secretion of the solute into the renal tubules.

Answer 2

If the amount of solute excreted per minute is greater than the filtered load, the net effect on the solute is secretion into the renal tubules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option 4) secretion into the renal tubules.

If the amount of solute excreted per minute is greater than the filtered load, it means that more solute is being excreted from the body than what was originally filtered by the kidneys. This can happen when the body needs to eliminate excess solutes or toxins.

In the renal tubules, substances can be reabsorbed back into the blood or secreted into the tubules. In this case, when the amount of solute excreted is greater than the filtered load, it indicates an increase in secretion of solute into the renal tubules.
