Assertion: Glomerular filtration requires expenditure of energy by kidney.
Reason: Glomerular filtration occurs because pressure in the glomerular capillaries is lower than the pressure in Bowman's capsule

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

if assertion is true but reason is false

D

if both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Glomerular filtration occurs because the presure of the blood flowing in the glomerular filtration,a nd because the process takes advantage of a pressure gradient glomerular filtration does not require the expenditure of energy by kidney cells.
