Options
- ADescending limb of Loop of Henle is impermeable to water
- BDistal convoluted tubule is incapable of reabsorbing
- CNearly 99 per cent of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by the renal tubules
- DAscending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to electrolytes
Correct answer
C. Nearly 99 per cent of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by the renal tubules
Step-by-step solution
The plasma fluid that filters out from glomerular capillaries into Bowman's capsule of nephron is called glomerular filtrate. A comparison of the volume of the filtrate formed per day day) with that of the urine released , suggests that nearly 99 per cent of the filtrate has to be reabsorbed by the renal tubules. This process is called reabsorption.
