Question

Which part of the human nephron is primarily responsible for the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids?

• A. Bowman’s capsule
• B. Proximal convoluted tubule
• C. Loop of Henle
• D. Distal convoluted tubule

Hint:

In nephron function, associate the proximal convoluted tubule with the reabsorption of most nutrients and water, the loop of Henle with concentration gradients, and the distal tubule with fine-tuning ion balance.
