  1. Reabsorption of useful substances from glomerular filtrate occurs in
    1. Collecting tube
    2. Loop of Henle
    3. Proximal convoluted tubule
    4. Distal convoluted tubule
Correct Option: C

From Bowman's capsule, glomerular filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule. Most of the useful substances like Glucose, Amino Acids, inorganic ions (Na+, K+, Cl- etc), and most of the important buffer bicarbonates are reabsorbed in Proximal Convoluted Tubule. Cells are specially adaptive for absorption having numerous microvilli & mitochondria (to provide energy for active absorption).
