Answer #1

Ans:-- actually the water is which is present in urine act as a base solvent to carry waste products like urea, nitrogenous waste products and different toxins. So if 100 % of water will be absorbed from filtrate there will be no solvent to carry all this waste products out of the body.

Plus as amount of water will keep on reducing from filtrate the osmolarity of the tubular fluid will increase and if it increases too much then water from the interestial spaces in kidney will start coming in tubules via diffusion . So it is immposible to absorbe 100% water.

Complete the last two columns given the data already present in the table. A researcher wishes to determine how the water absorption capacity of sodium polyacrylate varies as a function of lithium ion (Li+) concentration. The researcher has recorded the following: Concentration of LiNO3 Solution Mass of Sodium Polyacrylate (g) Incubating Volume of LiNO3 Solution (mL) Volume of Filtrate Collected (Unabsorbed LiNO3 Solution) (mL) Volume of LiNO3 Solution Absorbed by Sodium Polyacrylate (mL) Volume (mL) of Water Absorbed per Gram...
