Question

Glucose present in glomerular filterate is reabsorbed in

• A. Bowmans capsule
• B. Henles loop
• C. Proximal convoluted tubule
• D. Distal convoluted tubule

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Proximal convoluted tubule

Glucose present in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed into blood along with na+. Both na+ and glucose are co transported through a transporter called SGLT-2(Sodium-Glucose Linked Transport). This do transporter is present only in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. So the reabsorption of glucose takes place in PCT of nephron.

So the correct option is c.
