The term that describes the environment inside the cell is hypotonic.

Hypotonic environment is a solution that has a reduced osmotic pressure than a certain fluid, usually a body fluid. In a hypotonic solution, all the dissolved solute molecules have a molar concentration that is lower than that of another solution or a cell. When a cell is exposed to a hypotonic environment, there is movement of water into the cell and the cell may burst if it does not have a cell wall.

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

Na+/K+ ATPase exists in two forms: Its phosphorylated form has a high affinity for K+ and low affinity for Na+. ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of the Na+/K+ pump favor the release of Na+ outside the cell and binding of K+ ions from the outside of the cell. Dephosphorylation of the pump increases its affinity for Na+ and reduces that for K+ ions resulting in the release of K+ ions inside the cells and binding to the Na+ from the cells.  

The presence of ATP analog would not allow the pump to obtain its phosphorylated form. Therefore, Na+ ions would not be released outside the cells. This would increase the Na+ concentration inside the cell above the normal. Similarly, the pump would not be able to pick the K+ from the outside of the cell resulting in reduced cellular K+ concentration below the normal range.

How do the nephrons handle nitrogenous wastes such as urea uric acid and creatinine?
masya89 [10]
According to sources, the most probable answer to this query is that nephrons found in the kidney are responsible for filtering out waste in the blood cells. The resulting product is urea. 
This is then excreted to the body.
