Question
Which one of the following statements about a normally functioning mammalian kidney is true?Question 2Select one:A.Glucose is not found in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT)B.Urine has a similar composition to glomerular filtrateC.A low blood pressure does not affect kidney functionD.Glucose is not found in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
Solution
The correct answer is D. Glucose is not found in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).
Here's why:
A. Glucose is not found in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) - This is incorrect. Glucose is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule, so it should not be present in the distal convoluted tubule under normal conditions. However, in conditions such as diabetes, glucose may be present.
