Detailed Solution

Urine is typically slightly acidic (pH 6.0), and this acidity is primarily due to the selective secretion of hydrogen ions (H+) by the renal tubules.

The pale yellow color of urine is mainly due to the presence of urobilin, not bilirubin.

Urine is not completely colorless. Its color is influenced by various pigments, including urobilin, which gives it a yellow color. It is also has a characteristic odour.

The reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the renal tubules tends to make urine slightly acidic, not alkaline.
