Question

In which portion of the following glucose concentration is highest?

• A. Glomerulus
• B. Proximal convoluted Tubule
• C. Bowman's capsules
• D. Collecting tubule

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Glomerulus

The correct option is A:

Explanation of the correct option :

1. It is the initial stage in the nephron's blood filtration process, which results in the generation of urine.
2. Bowman's capsule is a cup-like sac that surrounds the glomerulus.
3. Blood plasma is filtered through the glomerulus's capillaries and into the capsule.
4. Hence glomerulus has the highest concentration of glucose.

Explanation of the incorrect option :

Option B:

1. It reabsorbs most of the filtered Na⁺ ions in order to deliver only a small quantity of Na⁺ ions to downstream sites.

Option C:

1. It participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries.

Option D:

1. It helps in the transportation of urine and absorption of water.

Final answer: Hence the correct answer is Glomerulus.
