Question

Which of the following is not correctly matched?

• A. PCT – Absorption of $N{a}^{+}$ and $K^{+}$
• B. DCT – Absorption of glucose
• C. Bowman’s capsule – Glomerular filtration
• D. Loop of Henle – transport of electrolytes

Answer 1

The correct option is B

DCT – Absorption of glucose

Conditional reabsorption of Na+ and water takes place in Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). DCT is also capable of reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and ammonia to maintain the pH and sodium-potassium balance in the blood. Glucose is absorbed in Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).
