urea
|
|
|
water

glucose

amino acids

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Urea is not reabsorbed during urine formation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the reabsorption of solutes necessary for normal body function such as amino acids, glucose, and salts takes place in the proximal part of the tubule. This reabsorption may be active, as in the case of glucose, amino acids, and peptides, whereas water, chloride, and other ions are passively reabsorbed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Creatinine. Creatinine is considered a waste product, which is why it would not be reabsorbed; it would be secreted and then excreted from the body via urine.
