Solution

The correct option is B False

Reason

  1. Reabsorption: The transfer of water and solutes from the tubule back into the plasma is referred to as reabsorption.
  2. Water and solute are being reabsorbed by the renal tubule.
  3. Bulk reabsorption, which is not controlled by hormones, takes place mostly in the proximal tubule.

Final answer

Reabsorption cannot take place in an artificial kidney.

Hence, the given statement is false.
