A person has a disease that damages the lining of the small intestine, preventing this organ from performing its function. How would this affect the body? (1 point)

This would prevent the body from getting the amount of oxygen it needs to function properly.

This would have no effect on the body because the stomach and large intestine would compensate.

This would prevent the body from obtaining the vitamins and nutrients it needs in order to perform properly.

This would prevent the body from feeling any pain because no signals would make it to the brain.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i. e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
