Question

Reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate in the kidney tubule is carried out by

• A. Active transport
• B. Osmosis
• C. Brownian movement
• D. Diffusion

Answer 1

The correct option is A Active transport

Complete reabsorption of glucose takes place by simple cuboidal epithelium with a brush border lined cells of the proximal convoluted tubule by an active transport process. It requires energy as it takes place against the gradient. It is done with the help of several membrane transporters.
