What is the function of urea reabsorption in the collecting ducts of the kidney?

A) It restores the correct concentration of blood urea. B) It increases the osmotic concentration of the interstitial fluid in the renal medulla so that more water can be extracted from the urine. C) It reduces the salinity of the renal medulla and thus helps regulate how much water is reabsorbed from the urine. D) It moves the urea into the ascending limb of the loop of Henle so that it can be excreted from there in the urine.

What is the role of the nuclear localization sequence in a nuclear protein?

(a) It is bound by cytoplasmic proteins that direct the nuclear protein to the nuclear pore. (b) It is a hydrophobic sequence that enables the protein to enter the nuclear membranes. (c) It aids in protein unfolding so that the protein can thread through nuclear pores. (d) It prevents the protein from diffusing out of the nucleus through nuclear pores.
