Question

Indicate whether the given statement is true or false.
Glucose is actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.

Open in App

Solution

The given statement is true.
The proximal convoluted tubule extends from the Bowman's capsule and help in selective reabsorption in the nephron. Glucose present in the renal blood needs to be absorbed by PCT. It is absorbed actively by the sodium glucose transporter present in the membranes of PCT. The transporter pumps the glucose and sodium inside the PCT and the ions are reabsorbed.
