7. a) Increased colloid osmotic pressure in the peritubular capillaries represents the pressure exerted by proteins in the plasma. This implies that the water content is low (as protein pressure is high). Hence, this increases reabsorption of water into the peritubular capillaries.
b) Hydrostatic pressure implies the pressure exerted by water inside the capillaries. As pressure of water is already more, more water need not be taken into the capillaries. Hence, reabsorption decreases.
c) Increased colloid osmotic pressure in renal interstitium implies that more proteins are present in the interstitium than water. Due to this less water is reabsorbed. Hence, reabsorption decreases.
d) Increased hydrostatic pressure in the renal interstitium implies that more water is present in interstitium which can be reabsorbed. Hence, reabsorption increases.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
