alleryMost of the GLUCOSE in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in the:
ADistal convoluted tubule (DCT)
BProximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
CCollecting duct (final reabsorption)
DLoop of Henle (concentration gradient)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
The PCT reabsorbs nearly 100% of filtered glucose via active transport (Na+-glucose cotransporters).
It also reabsorbs amino acids, large fractions of water, and Na+.
