• B. blood plasma minus blood proteins
• C. glycogen and water
• D. use bile for excretion

Answer 1

The correct option is B

blood plasma minus blood proteins

The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option :

1. The first step in urine formation is the filtration of blood, which is carried out by the glomerulus and is called as glomerular filtration.
2. The epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule called as podocytes are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores.
3. Blood is filtered so finely through these membranes, that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman's capsule.
4. Therefore, it is considered as a process of ultrafiltration.

Final Answer : The liquid which collects in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is blood plasma minus blood proteins .
