Which of the statements is CORRECT? (1 pt)

Select one:

a. For an individual who does not have diabetes mellitus, 100% of filtered glucose is reabsorbed at the proximal convoluted tubule into the blood of the peritubular capillary using the sodium-glucose secondary active transporter rather than insulin.

b. Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete Aldosterone.

c. When the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidney detects a drop in blood pressure, plasma osmolarity, and blood volume, it will secrete an enzyme known as Renin into the blood.

d. Ingestion of greasy hamburgers, barbeque ribs, and a side of refried beans after climbing up and down a steep hill would increase the H+ in the blood and would decrease the pH of the blood. The kidneys would response by increasing the tubular secretion of H+ and tubular reabsorption of HCO3- to maintain the pH of the blood.

e. The presence of ketones in the urine may be due to severe starvation, vigorous exercise, or Type I diabetes mellitus.

f. All of the above

g. None of the above
