Question

The proximal convoluted tubule is A. lined with epithelial cells that lack microvilli. B. the site of glucose and amino acid reabsorption. C. permeable to water if ADH is present. D. impermeable to water. E. the site of water secretion.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubule or PCT is the the part of nephron that lies in between of loop of Henle and bowman's capsule. The PCT is responsible for the most amount reabsorption of sodium, glucose, amino acids, water, potassium and chloride and reabsorbs around 65% to 100% of filtered substance.

Epithelial cells in the PCT reabsorb substances that have nutritional importance by the numerous microvilli on their surface.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
