Eukaryotic cells have been confronted throughout their evolution with potentially lethal plasma membrane injuries, including those caused by osmotic stress, by infection from bacterial toxins and parasites, and by mechanical and ischemic stress. The wounded cell can survive if a rapid repair response is mounted that restores boundary integrity. Calcium has been identified as the key trigger to activate an effective membrane repair response that utilizes exocytosis and endocytosis to repair a membrane tear, or remove a membrane pore. We here review what is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of membrane repair, with particular emphasis on the relevance of repair as it relates to disease pathologies. Collective evidence reveals membrane repair employs primitive yet robust molecular machinery, such as vesicle fusion and contractile rings, processes evolutionarily honed for simplicity and success. Yet to be fully understood is whether core membrane repair machinery exists in all cells, or whether evolutionary adaptation has resulted in multiple compensatory repair pathways that specialize in different tissues and cells within our body.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

c. reabsorbing hydrogen

Explanation:

In this scenario, the individual's kidneys will do all of the following except for reabsorbing hyrdogen. This is because, in a scenario like this where the body pH levels decline the kidneys begin to secrete hydrogen, they do not reabsorb it. It is this process of acid elimination that ultimately causes the body's pH levels to begin rising and restoring themselves to normal. Therefore the answer to this question is c.
