Question

If the T m for a particular amino acid is 120 mg/100 ml and the concentration of that amino acid in the blood is 230 mg/100 ml, the amino acid will ________. A. be actively secreted into the filtrate B. be completely reabsorbed by the tubule cells C. be reabsorbed by secondary active transport D. appear in the urine

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D, appear in the urine

Explanation:

It is mentioned in the question that Tm for a particular amino acid is 120 mg/100 ml , but the concentration of amino acid in blood is 230 mg/100 ml. Thus, there is an excess of amino acid in blood. The excess amino acid is drained into kidney during blood purification which ultimately appear in the urine.

Thus, option D is correct
