Question

At any given time this part of the nephron can and may have no aquaporins on the apical membranes of the epithelial cells. Which of the following options correctly represent the parts of the nephron that can have no aquaporins?

1) I, G, E, J, K
2) I, G, E
3) H, I, G, E, J, K
4) H, I, G, E

Answer 1

The parts of the nephron that can have no aquaporins on the apical membranes of the epithelial cells are the proximal tubule, the distal tubule, and the collecting duct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is 2) I, G, E. The parts of the nephron that can have no aquaporins on the apical membranes of the epithelial cells are the proximal tubule (I), the distal tubule (G), and the collecting duct (E).
