Document Summary

Proximal convoluted tubule reabsorption of na+/glucose/amino acids: Reabsorbs roughly 66% of the total filtrate. Due to the na+ concentration gradient established by the pump, na+ can be reabsorbed into the tubule by simple diffusion, the na+/glucose co transporter or the na+/h+ exchanger. Amino acids are also reabsorbed along this section of the nephron by the na+/amino acid co transporter. In a healthy individual, the na+/glucose co transporter reabsorbs all of the glucose in the filtrate. A disease that affects the pancreas" ability to produce the hormone insulin. Insulin is essential for cells to take up and store glucose after a meal. Without insulin, glucose concentrations build up in the blood. Large quantities of glucose are filtered by the glomerulus, and as a result, the. Na+/glucose co transporter cannot reabsorb all of it. Consequently, some is excreted in the urine. This is one of the most important symptoms glucose in the urine.

Please answer and explain, thank you.

1) How do proteins become dephosphorylated?

2) The water and solute fraction of blood that enters the renal tubule is called the filtrate. Filtrate is constantly entering the renal tubule. In a person without diabetes, all of the glucose in the filtrate is reabsorbed back into the blood by the renal tubule cells of the proximal convoluted tubule. Diabetes mellitus is a set of diseases that cause and increase in the glucose concentration in blood. Explain on a molecular level, why glucose is found in the urine of a person with uncontrolled (untreated) diabetes mellitus.

3) Cardiac muscle cells must rapidly remove calcium ions from their cytosol in between each heartbeat. These cells possess a variety of transport proteins including NKA, PMCA (plasma membrane calcium ATPase, a Ca2+ pump), and NCX (Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, which is an antiporter). Explain how each of these proteins contributes to the removal of calcium ions from the cytosol
