The urine of man under normal conditions does not contain glucose because:

• A. Glucose in the glomerular filtrate is converted into glycogen
• B. Glucose in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in the uriniferous tubules
• C. Glucose of the blood is not filtered in the glomerulus
• D. The normal blood sugar is fructose

Answer 1

The correct option is B Glucose in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in the uriniferous tubules

bloodstream with the help of uriniferous tubules.
