Detailed explanation-1: -Large molecular weight protein are too large to pass through the glomerulus and into the tubular filtrate. So large molecular weight proteins are least likely to be present in the glomerular filtrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plasma proteins have a higher molecular weight and is thus inhibited by the basement membrane of the glomerular capillaries from being filtered out. Hence, plasma protein is the least likely to be found in the glomerular filtrate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Glomerular filtrate does not contain proteins.
Detailed explanation-4: -Correct answer: The correct path of filtrate through a nephron starts in the renal corpuscle, which is comprised of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. Filtrate then passes through the proximal convoluted tubule, where the majority of reabsorption takes place.
Detailed explanation-5: -The glomerular filtrate contains urea, water, vitamins, fatty acids, water, glucose, nitrogen, salts, etc. The glomerular filtrate enters the nephrons for further filtration termed ultrafiltration.
