In Contrast to Glomerular Filtration, Tubular Reabsorption _______

Question

In contrast to glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption _______.
A) retains glucose in the filtrate
B) takes place mainly in the collecting ducts
C) is highly selective
D) returns metabolic wastes to the blood

Accepted Answer

Tubular reabsorption is highly selective, as it involves the active transport of necessary substances (such as glucose, amino acids, and ions) from the filtrate back into the bloodstream, while allowing excess water and waste products to continue down the renal tubules for excretion.
