Question

Glucose is absorbed in which part of nephrons:

A.

Loop of Henle

B.

Glomerulus

C.

Proximal convoluted tubule

D.

Distal tube

Correct option is C

Glucose reabsorption occurs primarily in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of the nephron through active transport mechanisms, preventing loss of glucose in urine. Explanation of options:
· (a) ✘ The Loop of Henle handles water and electrolyte balance, not glucose.
· (b) ✘ Glomerulus filters blood but doesn’t absorb glucose.
· (c) ✔ Correct; PCT reabsorbs nearly all filtered glucose.
· (d) ✘ The distal tubule adjusts salt and pH, not glucose reabsorption.
