IB The kidney

Identify the process that occurs at the glomerulus

• Selective reabsorption

• Ultrafiltration

• Reabsorption of water

• Active transport

Identify the molecule not filtered from the blood by ultrafiltration

• Protein

• Urea

• Glucose

• Sodium ions

State the structure in the image

• 0.1%

• 1%

• 10%

• 100%

Identify where in the kidney tubule glucose is reabsorbed

• Glomerulus

• Distal convoluted tubule

• Loop of Henle

• Proximal convoluted tubule

• Coronary

• Renal

• Carotid

Where is water reabsorbed in the kidney tubule?
