Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) selectively secretes hydrogen ions, ammonia and potassium ions into the filtrate. (iii). Macule densa is formed by cellular modification in the distal convoluted tubule and the afferent arteriole at their contact location. (iv).

Identify the correct statements from the below about "Structure of nephron". (I) Each kidney has nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephron. I (II) Each nephron consists of a filtering corpuscle called renal corpuscle. (III) The renal tubule opens into a longer tubule called the collecting duct.

Water leaks out from an open tank through a hole of area 2mm^2 in the bottom. Suppose water is filled up to a height of 80 cm and the area of cross section of the tankis 0.4 m^2 . The pressure at the open surface and the hole are equal to the atmospheric pressure. Neglect the small velocity of the water near the open surface in the tank. a. Find the initial speed of water coming out of the hole. b. Findteh speed of water coming out when half of water has leaked out. c. Find the volume of water leaked out during a time interval dt after the height remained is h. Thus find the decrease in height dh in term of h and dt. d. From the result of part c. find the time required for half of the water to leak out.
