Question

Glucose present in glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in:

A.

Henle’s loop

B.

Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)

C.

Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)

D.

Bowman’s capsule

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (b)
Explanation:
Nearly 100% of glucose filtered in the glomerulus is reabsorbed actively in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) by sodium-glucose symporters.
Information Booster:
PCT is responsible for reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, ions, and water.
Uses active transport (Na⁺-glucose co-transport) mechanism.
PCT cells have microvilli to increase surface area.
Reabsorption maintains blood glucose levels; excess causes glycosuria.
Loop of Henle, DCT, and collecting duct handle salt and water, not glucose.
Additional Information (Incorrect Options):
(a) Henle’s loop reabsorbs water and NaCl, not glucose.
(c) DCT regulates ions under hormonal control (aldosterone).
(d) Bowman’s capsule performs filtration, not reabsorption.
