Open in App
Solution

Active transport:

  1. Molecules are moved via active transport, which involves energy expenditure, from a low concentration to a high concentration.
  2. The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by straightforward cuboidal brush border epithelium, increasing the surface area for reabsorption.
  3. This portion is responsible for reabsorbing water, electrolytes, and nearly all other important nutrients.
  4. By active transport, glucose is entirely reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule.

Final Answer: Glucose is taken back from glomerular filtrate through active transport.
