Which of the following filtrate contains excessive amount of amino acids, glucose, and salts?
Correct answer: A. Glomerular filtrate
- A. Glomerular filtrate
- B. Filtrate passing through ascending limb
- C. Filtrate passing through distal conveluted tubule
- D. Filtrate passing through collecting tubules
Explanation
Glomerular filtrate contains water, salts, glucose and amino acids because these small molecules pass through the filtration barrier from blood. Most glucose and amino acids are later reabsorbed, so filtrate in the tubules contains much less of them; students may choose distal tubular filtrate by overlooking this reabsorption.
