Agricultural lands frequently require nutritional supplementation because

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and detrivores do not cycle nutrients as effectively as they do on wild lands. 
  2. The nutrients that enter the plants are not returned to the soil on lands where they are harvested. 
  3. The prairies that comprise good agricultural land tend to be nutrient-poor.
  4. Grains raised for feed must be fortified, and thus require additional nutrients.

The following test results were obtained: urine flow rate = 2.0 ml/min; urine inulin concentration = 60 mg/ml; plasma inulin concentration = 2 mg/ml; urine potassium concentration = 20 μmol/ml; plasma potassium concentration = 4.0 μmol/ml; urine osmolarity = 150 mOsm/L; and plasma osmolarity = 300 mOsm/L. What is the approximate GFR?

Given the following measurements, calculate the filtration fraction: glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure = 50 mm Hg; Bowman’s space hydrostatic pressure = 15 mm Hg; colloid osmotic
pressure in the glomerular capillaries = 30 mm Hg; glomerular capillary filtration coefficient (Kf) = 12 ml/min/mm Hg; and renal plasma flow = 400 ml/min.
