Answer the question by choosing appropriate responses from the following:  

1) Sodium: It is reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule in exchange for potassium.

2) Potassium ions: They are present outside the cell in a 10 times higher concentration than inside. 

3) Calcium: It has the least concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 

4) Hydrogen ions: They are secreted in the renal tubules to reabsorb K ⁺ ions. 

5) Phosphate: It is present in the genetic material (DNA and RNA) and also helps in the formation of the energy currency of the cell (ATP). 

6) Ammonium ions: They help in the formation of urea in the DCT. 

7) Bicarbonate ion (HCO₃^-): It plays a crucial role in the reabsorption of H ⁺ ions in the kidneys.
