Question

Select the correct option representing the parts of nephron that respectively absorb

(i) Glucose,

(ii) Amino acids,

(iii) Inorganic ions $(N{a}^{+},k^{+},C{l}^{-})$ and

(iv) Urea in maximum

• A. (i)DCT (ii)Descending limb of loop of henle (iii) DCT (iv) DCT
• B. (i)DCT (ii)Descending limb of loop of Henle (iii)PCT (iv) DCT
• C. (i)PCT (ii)PCT (iii)PCT (iv)Ascending limb of loop of Henle
• D. (i)PCT (ii)DCT (iii)DCT (iv)Ascending limb of loop of Henle

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i)PCT (ii)PCT (iii)PCT (iv)Ascending limb of loop of Henle

The maximum absorption of glucose, amino acids, and inorganic ions like Na${}^{+}$, K${}^{+}$, and Cl${}^{-}$ take place in the proximal convoluted tubule or PCT, and the maximum absorption of urea takes place in the ascending loop of Henle.

Thus, the correct answer is '(i)PCT (ii)PCT (iii)PCT (iv)Ascending limb of the loop of Henle.'
