Question

For a healthy person, how many 2 liter soda bottles of water do the kidneys filter per day and how much urine is produced per day?

1 bottle and about 20 liters. 10 bottles and about 1 liter. 50 bottles and about 0.5 liter. 90 bottles and 2 liters. 120 bottles and 3 liters.

Answer 1

In a healthy human being both the kidneys togather can filter an amount of 180-200 L of water per day.This value accounts for approx 90 soda bottles of water per day.

the amount of urine produced per day by the kidneys is approximately 800 to 2000 mL.

Eventhough a volume of 200L is filtered per day the 90% volume is reabsorbed by the renal tubules and the urine is concentrated.Hence the urine output is only 10 percent of the total filtered volume.

so the correct answer is 90bottles and 2litres
