the nephrons produce approx 150 litres of glomerular filtrate per day 99% of which is reabsorbed to leave an average of 1.5litres of urine.

Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
endocytosis
Glomerular filtration rate is the rate at which fluid is filtered by the kidneys. The normal rate for humans is 125mL/min or 180L/day. The fluid that is filtered (and not reabsorbed later) is excreted as urine.
glucose and amino acids, because they are selectively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
yes.....glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Glucose is absorbed in the nephron of the kidney, if it is present in very high amounts or unable to be reabsorbed, like with diabetes, it will be present in urine.

plasma
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
