lo 6.3. what is the glomerulus responsible for?
transporting oxygen to the body
digesting food
producing insulin
regulating body temperature
filtering the blood

Explanation:

The glomerulus is a part of the nephron in the kidney. Its main function is to filter the blood. Red blood cells and large - sized proteins are retained in the blood, while water, salts, glucose, and urea (small - sized molecules) are filtered out into the Bowman's capsule to form the glomerular filtrate.
Transporting oxygen is mainly the function of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood. Digestion of food occurs in the digestive system (e.g., stomach, small intestine). Insulin is produced by the pancreatic islets (beta cells). Regulating body temperature is a function of the skin (e.g., through sweating and vasoconstriction/vasodilation) and other physiological mechanisms.

Answer:

Filtering the blood
