Question

Amount of blood passes through kidney per minute is:

• A. \(110{-}200\ \text{ml}\)
• B. \(150{-}200\ \text{ml}\)
• C. \(100{-}120\ \text{ml}\)
• D. \(50{-}100\ \text{ml}\)

Hint:

Renal blood flow ≈ \(1200\ \text{ml/min}\)
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≈ \(120\ \text{ml/min}\) Exams often ask GFR values, not total renal blood flow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand what the question refers to. In standard biology questions, this refers to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), i.e., the amount of blood plasma filtered by the kidneys per minute.
Step 2: Recall the normal value of GFR. In a healthy adult: \[ \text{GFR} \approx 120\ \text{ml per minute} \] This value represents the average amount of blood filtered through the kidneys each minute.
Step 3: Match with the given options. The range closest to the normal GFR is: \[ 100{-}120\ \text{ml per minute} \]
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{100{-}120\ \text{ml}} \]
