Question 3 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Which of the following accurately describes how urine is produced?

Answer
A
The kidneys transform substances that the body doesn’t need into urine.
B
The kidneys extract essential nutrients from urea and transform the excess into urine.
C
The kidneys store urea and electrolytes until enough is present to form urine.
D
The kidneys remove water from waste products to create urine.

Explanation

The kidneys filter the blood, keeping substances the body needs and removing wastes and excess water and salts. These removed substances become urine, so choice A, “The kidneys transform substances that the body doesn’t need into urine,” is the best description. The kidneys do not make urine by extracting nutrients from urea or by storing wastes until they accumulate.
