What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
Glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate is normally reabsorbed back into the bloodstream by the renal tubules. This reabsorption process occurs primarily in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron through specialized transporters. If there is excess glucose present, it can lead to glycosuria, a condition where glucose is excreted in the urine.
Why are useful molecules like glucose and other nutrients found in the filtrate along with urea and other wastes?
because glucose and other nutrients are small to filtrate through the filtration membrane and glucose is essential to be in the filtration membrane.
What is the process that actively moves substances from the blood into the nephron?
in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle
Why is glucose completely reabsorbed?
The proximal convoluted tubule.The Loop of Henle is the part of the nephron that contains the basic pathway for liquid. The liquid begins at the Bowman's capsule and then flows through the proximal convoluted tubule . It is here that Sodium, water, amino acids, and glucose get reabsorbed. The filtrate then flows down the descending limb and then back up. On the way it passes a major bend called the Loop Of Henle. This is located in the medulla of the kidney. As it approaches the top again, hydrogen ions (waste) flow into the tube and down the collecting duct.
What 2 molecules are made along with plant glucose?
Along with glucose, plants produce oxygen and water during the process of photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, resulting in the release of oxygen as a byproduct. This oxygen is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms.

Why does blood contain glucose but normal urine does not?
Blood contains glucose because it is an essential energy source for cells in the body. However, the kidneys normally filter out glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream, so that there is no glucose present in normal urine. The presence of glucose in urine, known as glucosuria, can be a sign of diabetes or other health conditions.
What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
What is the path filtrate as it passes through the nephron?
This is the pathway of filtration, which takes place in the nephron:1-Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule: Filtration of water and dissolved solutes occurs as the blood is forced through the walls of glamerulus into the Bowman's capsule by fluid pressure in the capillaries ( capillary beds).2-Proximal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport.3-Descending limb of loop of henle: This is permeable to water resulting in loss of water from filtrate by osmosis. Salt becomes concentrated in the filtrate as descending limb penetrates inner medulla of kidney.4-Ascending limb of loop of henle: Thin segment of ascending limb of loop of henle in permeable to salt resulting in diffusion of salt out of ascending limb.5-Distal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport.6-Collecting Duct: Urine formation.
How is filtrate made?
Filtrate is made by passing a liquid through a filter, such as filter paper or a membrane, to separate solid components from the liquid. The solid substances are retained by the filter while the liquid, along with any dissolved substances, passes through as the filtrate.
The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?
Urea in the blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule, then it travels through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. Urea can be reabsorbed and recycled back into the blood at various points along the nephron.

Is carbohydrates glucose?
Phrased that way, the answer is sometimes. If you turn it around to; "Is glucose a carbohydrate?" Then the answer is yes, since glucose is a simple sugar and sugars along with starches and fiber are carbohydrates.
What ketohexose and aldohexose are present in melezitose?
Melezitose is composed of the ketohexose fructose, along with two units of the aldohexose glucose. It is a trisaccharide made up of glucose-fructose-glucose.
