2.74: Understand that Selective Reabsorption of Glucose Occurs at the Proximal Convoluted Tubule

REABSORPTION OF GLUCOSE

Diagram Showing the Reabsorption of Glucose

SELECTIVE REABSORPTION OF GLUCOSE: After the Glomerular Filtrate Enters the Bowman’s, All Glucose is Immediately Reabsorbed at the Proximal Convoluted Tubule by Active Transport Nephron is Adapted by Having Mitochondria to Provide Energy for ATP for the Active Transport of Glucose Molecules Nephron is also Adapted to this by having Thin Membranes so Distance of Active Transport is Short, Allowing the Efficient Rate of Active Transport
