Question

Remember that the glomerulus is the initial filtering sieve of the nephron.

Answer 1

Filtration rate = 125 mL/minute = 0.125 L/min
Minutes in a day = 24 hours x 60 minutes per hour
Minutes in a day = 1440 
Total filtrate per day = 0.125 x 1440 = 180 L

Number of 2 L bottles to be filled = 180 / 2
= 90 bottles

This value is very large and we do not produce this much urine in a day. This means a portion of the fluid is being reabsorbed.

Absorption.
