Gce Model Questions Vol1 2023 Biology Question 12
Practice objective / multiple choice question 12 from the 2023 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A patient's plasma glucose concentration is 5 mmol L(^{-1}). Normally the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 120 mL min(^{-1}) and 99 % of the filtered glucose is re‑absorbed, so virtually no glucose appears in the urine. In a renal disorder the GFR falls to 90 mL min(^{-1}) and the tubular re‑absorption efficiency drops to 95 %. Calculate the amount of glucose excreted in the urine per minute (in mmol min(^{-1})).
