Question 1:

X is the ureter.

Ureters are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Question 2:

Y is the renal artery.

These arteries branch off from the aorta to supply the kidneys with blood.

Question 3:

Answer: A

Reason: Ultrafiltration occurs in the Bowman's capsules, which are located in the renal cortex.

Question 4:

Answer: A

Reason: Glucose is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubules, which are also located in the renal cortex.

Question 5:

Answer: C. Urine

Reason: Once the processed fluid leaves the renal pelvis and enters the ureter (D), it is known as urine.

Question 6:

C. Red blood cells.

Here is why:

The Key Concept: These questions are testing your knowledge of ultrafiltration. The glomerular filter acts like a sieve that only lets small molecules through.

Size Exclusion: Red blood cells (and large proteins) are far too large to pass through the filter into the Bowman's capsule (Z). Therefore, 100% of the blood cells that enter at X must stay in the blood and exit at Y.

Comparison: While urea, glucose, and mineral ions are also present in Y, a significant amount of them has been filtered out into Z. Red blood cells are the only option on that list that is retained entirely within the blood vessels because of their size.

Question 7:

The correct answer is C. Large proteins.

Explanation: The basement membrane of the glomerulus acts as a high-pressure filter. It allows small molecules like urea, glucose, mineral ions, and water to pass into the Bowman's capsule (Z). However, large proteins and blood cells are too large to pass through the pores and therefore do not enter the filtrate in a healthy kidney.

Question 8:

Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus (ultrafiltration), but under normal conditions, it is completely reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (the “first coiled tube” of the kidney).

The reabsorption occurs by:

1. Active transport (using sodium-glucose cotransporters, SGLT) to move glucose from the tubule lumen into the epithelial cell.

2. Facilitated diffusion (via GLUT transporters) to move glucose from the epithelial cell into the blood.

Looking at the options:

• A. Counter current exchange → This refers to the loop of Henle and urine concentration, not glucose reabsorption.

• B. Osmosis → This is water movement, not glucose.

• C. Ultrafiltration → This happens at the glomerulus; glucose is filtered, not reabsorbed, here.

• D. Active uptake and diffusion → This matches the actual mechanism (active transport from tubule into cell, then facilitated diffusion into blood).

Correct answer: D.

Question 9:

The correct answer is C.

Reasoning:

• In hot weather, the body loses more water through sweating to cool down.

• To prevent dehydration, the pituitary gland releases more ADH.

• ADH makes the collecting ducts in the kidneys more permeable to water, so more water is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.

• This results in a smaller volume of urine that is more concentrated (darker yellow).

Answer: C. Decreases / Increases

Question 10:

• In cold weather, the body sweats less, so there is less water loss.

• Blood water content remains relatively normal or slightly high, so less ADH is released.

• With less ADH, the collecting duct becomes less permeable to water.

• Less water is reabsorbed, so more dilute urine is produced.

So:

• Amount of ADH → decreases

• Permeability of collecting duct → decreases

Answer: D
