- Glucose enters the PCT via __________.
- In the respiratory response of the physiological delayed-action buffer system, CO2 mixes with water in the blood to form_________.
- Under normal conditions, 100% of filtered glucose, amino acid, lactic acid, water soluble vitamins, and other nutrients are reabsorbed in the first half of the PCT by ____________.
- In the phosphate buffer system, if pH falls, monohydrogen phosphate (HPO4 2-) acts as a weak acid.
- Facultative water reabsorption is regulated by ADH adapting to the body's needs if the individual is dehydrated or hydrated.
- The the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system, if pH rises ______ functions as a weak acid adding hydrogen ions to restore the body's pH.
- About 90% of water reabsorption by the kidneys occurs with which of the following solutes?
