Tubular reabsorption of a filtered substance is likely to be active rather than passive if its.

 


  1. Concentration in the tubular fluid is lower than in peritubular capillary blood.
  2. Excretion is increased by cooling the kidney.
  3. Renal clearance is lower than that of inulin.
  4. Renal clearance rises at high plasma levels.
  5. Urinary excretion rate:plasma concentration ratio is the same as for glucose.

A. True This suggests transportation into the blood against a concentration gradient.

B. True Cooling impairs active metabolic processes.

C. False This indicates reabsorption but not whether it is active (e.g. glucose) or passive (e.g. urea).

D. True This suggests saturation of a carrier system.

E. True Anything filtered in glomeruli and having zero clearance must be actively reabsorbed.
