Question:

How is the composition of blood in the renal artery is different from the renal vein blood? (4)

Author: Sammy Universe



Answer:

Renal vein: less urea bec large amounts is removed with the nephron to make urine less water and solutes/ ions = the amount removed depends on the hydration levels Less glucose and o2 because it is used to generate energy and fuel metabolic reactions more co2 = produced in the kidneys as a byproduct of metabolic reactions Renal artery: more urea more water and solutes more glucose and o2 more co2
