Q. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed in which part?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

About 65% of the glomerular filtrate is normally reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule before reaching the loop of Henle. Glucose, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, sodium, potassium, chlorides, phosphates, bicarbonates, much water and some urea from the filtrate are absorbed. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed by secondary active transport.
