The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the parts of the nephron that absorb glucose, amino acids, inorganic ions, and urea, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Function of Nephron Parts**: - The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney and is responsible for filtering blood and reabsorbing essential substances. 2. **Glucose Absorption**: - Glucose is primarily reabsorbed in the **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**. This is where the majority of glucose reabsorption occurs through active transport mechanisms. 3. **Amino Acids Absorption**: - Similar to glucose, amino acids are also reabsorbed in the **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**. The reabsorption of amino acids occurs alongside glucose through specific transport proteins. 4. **Inorganic Ions Absorption**: - Inorganic ions such as sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), and chloride (Cl⁻) are predominantly reabsorbed in the **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**. Some reabsorption also occurs in other parts of the nephron, but the maximum occurs in the PCT. 5. **Urea Absorption**: - Urea is reabsorbed mainly in the **Ascending Limb of the Loop of Henle**. This part of the nephron allows for the passive reabsorption of urea, contributing to the concentration of urine. 6. **Compile the Answers**: - Therefore, the correct parts of the nephron that absorb the substances in maximum amounts are: - (i) Glucose: **PCT** - (ii) Amino Acids: **PCT** - (iii) Inorganic Ions: **PCT** - (iv) Urea: **Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle** ### Final Answer: The correct option representing the parts of nephron that respectively absorb: (i) Glucose: **PCT**, (ii) Amino Acids: **PCT**, (iii) Inorganic Ions: **PCT**, (iv) Urea: **Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle**.
