question 32 (0.5 points)
where does most glucose get reabsorbed?
descending loop of henle
proximal convoluted tubule
ascending loop of henle
glomerulus

Explanation:

To determine where most glucose is reabsorbed, we analyze each option:

• The descending loop of Henle is mainly for water reabsorption, not glucose.
• The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is where the majority of glucose, along with other nutrients and ions, is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream from the filtrate.
• The ascending loop of Henle is involved in ion reabsorption (like sodium, chloride) and does not reabsorb glucose.
• The glomerulus is the site of filtration (where blood is filtered to form filtrate) and not reabsorption.

Answer:

B. Proximal convoluted tubule
