Question

The urine under normal conditions does not contain glucose because

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Glucose in glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in the uriniferous tubules.

When the glomerular filtrate comes in the proximal convoluted tubule, reabsorption of glucose and amino acids takes place through active transport. So, there is no glucose found in the urine.
