Kharishma Patel BIO 3422-E Urine Analysis Lab Objective The objective of this experiment shall be to examine the effects of different types of fluids on the renal system including rate of urine production‚ pH‚ and specific gravity. Hypothesis The group drinking water will have the highest rate of urine production. The group that drinks water only when thirsty will have the lowest rate of urine production. The specific gravity of urine for all treatment groups will be around 1.000. The pH for
