The correct Answer is:
To answer the question of which substance will be completely reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate under normal conditions in the nephrons, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nephrons**: Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and forming urine. Each nephron consists of several parts, including the glomerulus and the renal tubules. 2. **Role of Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**: The proximal convoluted tubule is the primary site for tubular reabsorption. This is where most of the reabsorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes occurs. 3. **Substances in Question**: The question lists four substances: urea, salt, glucose, and uric acid. We need to determine which of these is completely reabsorbed. 4. **Reabsorption of Glucose**: Glucose is a key nutrient that is completely reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule. This process occurs through secondary active transport, utilizing specific co-transporters. 5. **Comparison with Other Substances**: - **Urea**: Urea is partially reabsorbed, not completely. - **Salt (Sodium)**: Sodium is reabsorbed, but not completely; some is excreted. - **Uric Acid**: Uric acid is also not completely reabsorbed; it is partially excreted. 6. **Conclusion**: Among the options provided, glucose is the only substance that is completely reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate under normal conditions. ### Final Answer: **Glucose** is completely reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate in the nephrons under normal conditions. ---
