Which of the following statements about antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is TRUE? When ADH is present, large amounts of dilute urine are excreted. When ADH is absent, the collecting duct is highly permeable to water. When ADH is absent, aquaporins are inserted into the membrane of the collecting duct. When ADH is present, the collecting duct is highly permeable to water. 2. How are the Malpighian tubules in insects involved in water and electrolyte balance? They are the openings of the tracheal system, which can be closed to prevent water loss. They actively pump water back into the body when the insect is under osmotic stress. They form the protective outer surface of the insect, acting as an exoskeleton. They form a filtrate consisting of wastes, electrolytes, and water, which can be reabsorbed in the hindgut.

Which of the following are TRUE regarding the membrane of the descending limb of the Loop of Henle? Includes aquaporins that allow water to leave and concentrate filtrate NaCl pumps allow filtrate to be 300 mOsm less than surrounding interstitial fluid Utilizes both facilitated diffusion and active transport to remove solutes from filtrate Allows diffusion of urea that contributes to the osmotic concentration gradient of interstitial fluid.
