In kidney, glucose is reabsorbed mainly by

Options

(b) Loop of Henle
(c) proximal convoluted tubule
(d) distal convoluted tubule

Correct Answer:

proximal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

Glucose, amino acids, and bicarbonates are reabsorbed along with Na⁺in the early portion of the proximal tubule. Glucose is typical of substances removed rom the urine by secondary active transport. Essentially all of the glucose is reabsorbed, and no more than a few milligrams appear in the urine per 24 hours. The amount reabsorbed is proportionate to the amount filtered.
