cell membrane and transport: learn how transporters keep cells healthy english lets find out how much you know about this topic! this will help us personalize your learning experience, and dont worry, it wont affect your grades. question 10 of 10 the presence of a high concentration of aquaporins (water channels) in the membranes of certain kidney tubule cells is crucial for their specialized role in: efficient water reabsorption back into the bloodstream. the active transport of glucose out of the urine. the synthesis of hormones that regulate blood pressure.
Aquaporins are water - channel proteins. In kidney tubule cells, they facilitate the movement of water. The main function related to their high concentration in kidney tubule cell membranes is to enable efficient water reabsorption back into the bloodstream, which helps in maintaining the body's water balance. Glucose transport is done by glucose transporters, not aquaporins, and hormone synthesis is not related to aquaporin function.
