Basically blood plasma minus proteins.  The glomeruli can filter out most serum proteins, but lets a few small ones through (I think the cutoff is like 25kD).  Some albumin does manage to get through, this is recovered in the proximal tubule.

Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?

Plasma is isotonic to glomerular filtrate, meaning that the concentration of solutes in the two fluids is similar. This isotonicity helps to maintain the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body.


What are two substances that are found in the filtrate but not in the urine?

Ions and nutrients


What are the two stages of filtration in the nephrons?

The two stages of filtration in the nephrons are glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption. Glomerular filtration occurs in the glomerulus where blood is filtered to form a filtrate. Tubular reabsorption involves the reabsorption of essential substances such as water, glucose, and ions back into the bloodstream from the filtrate in the renal tubules.

WhaT is the difference between filtrate and urine?

The main difference between filtrate and urine is the chemical composition of the two. Filtrate has almost all the substance that blood plasma has except blood proteins while urine only contains waste substances.

Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?

No, passive movement of substances occurs due to concentration gradients between two areas. If the interstitial solute concentration is the same as the filtrate solute concentration, there would be no concentration gradient to drive passive movement.
