What is the primary mechanism by which water molecules move across cell membranes?

Osmosis driven by pressure gradients across semipermeable membranes

Active transport using ATP as an energy source

Simple diffusion driven by concentration gradients

Facilitated diffusion through aquaporin channels (correct)

Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys?

Glucagon

Cortisol

Insulin

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (correct)

In the context of water dissociation, what is the significance of the equilibrium constant (Keq) value of 1.8 × 10^-16 at 25°C?

It suggests that water does not dissociate at all at 25°C.

It indicates that water is a strong electrolyte at 25°C.

It shows that water is a weak electrolyte and only partially dissociates at 25°C. (correct)

It means that water dissociates completely into ions at 25°C.

In the context of weak electrolyte dissociation, what is meant by the term 'weak electrolyte'?

A substance that dissociates partially into ions when dissolved in water, with the extent of dissociation depending on the concentration. Signup and view all the answers

What are aquaporin channels, and what is their role in osmosis?

Aquaporin channels are protein channels found in cell membranes that facilitate the diffusion of water molecules across the membrane, playing a crucial role in osmosis. Signup and view all the answers

What is diabetes insipidus, and how is it related to the regulation of water balance in the body?

Diabetes insipidus is a condition characterized by excessive urination and increased thirst due to a deficiency or insensitivity to antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which leads to impaired water reabsorption in the kidneys. Signup and view all the answers
