The phosphate transport system in bacteria imports phosphate into the cell even when the concentration of phosphate outside the cell is much lower than the cytoplasmic phosphate concentration. Phosphate import depends on a pH gradient across the membrane—more acidic outside the cell than inside the cell. In this bacterial cell, phosphate transport is an example of:

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is treated with thiazide diuretics. The usefulness of thiazide diuretics in treating nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is explained as follows:

a. Thiazide diuretics inhibit Na+ reabsorption in the early distal tubule. By preventing dilution of the urine at that site, the final, excreted urine is less dilute.

b. Thiazide diuretics decrease glomerular filtration rate; because less water is filtered, less water is excreted.

c. Thiazide diuretics, by increasing Na+ excretion, can cause a secondary ECF volume contraction.
