Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The composition of glomerular filtrate and urine is not the same as the glomerular filtrate contains a large amount of water and other dissolved substances such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, amino-acid, glucose, sodium, potassium vitamins, etc.
Urine on the other hand is a transparent, light yellow fluid, which is formed after rigrous reabsorption and secretion from the filterate. It constitute about `95%` water and `5%` of other organic and inorganic substances.
Organic substances in urine includes nitrogen, urea, creatine, ammonia uric acid, oxalic acid, vitamins, hormones and enzymes.
Whereas inorganic substance in urine include chloride, phosphate, sulphate, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iodine, arsenic and lead. Glocose is not found in urine normally. Hence, composition of glomerular filtrate and urine is different.
