Solution

Kidney:

  1. Kidneys are the vital organs located on either side of the body and are responsible for the filtration of the blood.
  2. Nephrons are the kidneys' functional unit, which looks like a tiny funnel attached to a long tube.
  3. These funnel-shaped structures have tiny capillaries that filter the waste materials from the blood.
  4. The essential nutrients, 70 to 80 % of electrolytes, and water are reabsorbed by the proximal part of the kidneys.
  5. Out of these, glucose is completely reabsorbed.

Final answer:

Glucose is completely reabsorbed in the kidney.
