If kidney fail to reabsorb water, the effect on tissue would

1. remain unaffected
2. shrink and shrivel
3. absorb water from blood plasma
4. take more O₂ from blood

Correct answer: shrink and shrivel

Solution

When the kidneys fail to reabsorb water, more water is lost from the body, lowering the water available to tissues. Cells then lose water by osmosis and become dehydrated, so the tissue shrinks and shrivels.
