As the glomerular fitrate courses the tubules, its composition and osmotic concentration changes, due to tubular reabsorption. Which of the following is incorrect match regarding the segment of nephron and osmotic concentration of filtrate ?

A

`{:("Segment of nephron","Osmotic concentration of filtrate"),("Proximal convoluted tuble","Istonic to blood plasms"):}`

B

`{:("Segment of nephron","Osmotic concentration of filtrate"),("Descending limb of Henle's loop","Hypotonic"):}`

C

`{:("Segment of nephron","Osmotic concentration of filtrate"),("Ascending limb of Henle's loop","Hypotonic"):}`

D

`{:("Segment of nephron","Osmotic concentration of filtrate"),("Bowman's capsule","Hypotonic"):}`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect match between the nephron segment and the osmotic concentration of the filtrate, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Nephron Structure**: The nephron consists of several segments including the glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), descending limb of the loop of Henle, ascending limb of the loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule (DCT). 2. **Identify the Osmotic Concentration in Each Segment**: - **Glomerulus**: The filtrate is isotonic to blood plasma. - **Bowman’s Capsule**: The filtrate is hypertonic compared to the blood plasma. - **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**: The osmotic concentration of the filtrate remains isotonic to blood plasma. - **Descending Limb of Loop of Henle**: The membrane is permeable to water, leading to an increase in ion concentration in the filtrate, making it hypertonic. - **Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle**: The membrane is permeable to ions, causing the filtrate to become hypotonic as water is retained. 3. **Analyze the Options Given**: - **Option 1**: Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is isotonic to blood plasma. (Correct) - **Option 2**: Descending limb of loop of Henle is hypotonic. (Incorrect) - **Option 3**: Ascending limb of loop of Henle is hypotonic. (Correct) - **Option 4**: Bowman capsule is hypertonic. (Correct) 4. **Identify the Incorrect Match**: Based on the analysis, the second option is incorrect. The descending limb of the loop of Henle is hypertonic, not hypotonic. 5. **Conclusion**: The incorrect match regarding the segment of nephron and osmotic concentration of filtrate is **Option 2**: Descending limb of loop of Henle is hypotonic.

The colloidal particles are electrically charged as a indicated by their migration towards cathode or anode under the applied electric field. In a particular colloidal system, all particles carry either positive charge or negative charge. The electric charge on colloidal particles orginate in several ways. According to preferential adsorption theory, the freshly obtained precipitate particles adsorb ions from the dispersion medium, which are common to their lattice and acquire the charge of adsorbed ions. For example, For example, freshly obtained Fe(OH)_(3) precipitated is dispersed, by a little FeCl_(3) , into colloidal solution owing to the adsorption of Fe^(3+) ions in preference. Thus sol particles will be positively charged. In some cases the colloidal particles are aggregates of cations or anions having ampiphilic character. When the ions posses hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon end) as well as hydrophilic part (polar end group), they undergo association in aqueous solution to form particles having colloidal size. The formation of such particles, called micelles plays a very important role in the solubilization of water insoluble substances, (hydrocarbon, oils, fats, grease etc.). In micelles, the polar end groups are directed towards water and the hydrocarbon ends into the centre. The charge on sol particles of proteins depends on the pH. At low pH, the basic group of protein molecule is ionized (protonated) and at higher pH (alkaline medium), the acidic group is ionized. At isoelectric pH, characteristic to the protein, both basix and acidic groups are equally ionized. The stability of colloidal solution is attributed largely to the electric charge of the dispersed particles. This charge causes them to be coagulated or precipitated. On addition of small amount of electrolytes, the ions carrying oppiste charge are adsorbed by sol particles resulting in the neutralization of their charge. When the sol particles either with no charge or reduced charge, come closer due to Brownian movement, they coalesce to form bigger particles resulting in their separation from the dispersion medium. This is what is called coagulating or precipitation of the colloidal solution. The coagulating power of the effective ion, which depend on its charge, is expressed in terms of its coagulating value, defined as its minimum concentration (m mol/L) needed to precipitate a given sol. Which of the following ions would have the minimum coagulating value for sol obtained on peptizing Sn(OH)_(4) by little NaOH solution?
