Question

Glucose is absorbed

• A. Passively by DCT
• B. Actively by DCT
• C. Actively by PCT
• D. Passively by PCT

Answer 1

The correct option is C Actively by PCT

PCT(Proximal convoluted tubule) is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption. Nearly all of the essential nutrients and 70-80 percent of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed by this segment. Glucose is absorbed actively by PCT. It is reabsorbed using a cotransporter with sodium.

So, the correct answer is 'Actively by PCT'.
