Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process that returns glucose and amino acids back to the blood.
A
selective reabsorption
B
perspiration
C
excretion
D
transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tubular reabsorption is the process that moves solutes and water out of the filtrate and back into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Selective reabsorption is the process whereby certain molecules (e.g. ions, glucose and amino acids), after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Substances like glucose, amino acids, Na+, are reabsorbed by active transport whereas the nitrogenous wastes and water are reabsorbed passively.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renal glucose reabsorption is the part of kidney (renal) physiology that deals with the retrieval of filtered glucose, preventing it from disappearing from the body through the urine. If glucose is not reabsorbed by the kidney, it appears in the urine, in a condition known as glycosuria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reabsorption is the process by which nephron removes water and solutes from tubular fluid and return them to circulating blood. Substances such as glucose and amino acids, useful to the body are reabsorbed from the tubule in the proximal tubule.
