Consider the following four statements (A-D) about certain desert animals such as kangaroo rats:
| A. | they have a dark colour and a high rate of reproduction and excrete solid urine. |
| B. | they do not drink water, breathe at a slow rate to conserve water, and have their body covered with thick hairs. |
| C. | they feed on dry seeds and do not require drinking water. |
| D. | they excrete very concentrated urine and do not use water to regulate body temperature. |

2. Micturition will continue
3. Urine will continue to collect normally in the bladder
4. There will be no micturition
Consider the following four statements (a–d) regarding kidney transplant and select the two correct ones out of these:
| (a) | Even if a kidney transplant is proper the recipient may need to take immunosuppressants for a long time |
| (b) | The cell-mediated immune response is responsible for the graft rejection |
| (c) | The B-lymphocytes are responsible for rejection of the graft |
| (d) | The acceptance or rejection of a kidney transplant depends on specific interferons |

1. (b) and (c)
2. (c) and (d)
3. (a) and (c)
4. (a) and (b)
| 1. | Henle’s loop – most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate |
| 2. | Distal convoluted tubule – reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries |
| 3. | Afferent arteriole – carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein |
| 4. | Podocytes - create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule |
The maximum amount of electrolytes and water (70-80%) from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?
1. Ascending limb of the loop of Henle
2. Distal convoluted tubule
3. Proximal convoluted tubule
4. Descending limb of the loop of Henle
