Question
glomerular filtrate contains small, dissolved molecules in approximately the same concentration as ______
fill in the blank
Brief Explanations
Glomerular filtration in the kidneys allows small, dissolved molecules (like ions, glucose, urea) to pass from blood plasma into the glomerular filtrate. The filtrate's small - molecule concentration matches that of blood plasma because the filtration membrane is permeable to these small solutes, while larger molecules (like proteins) are mostly excluded.
