Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During the process of ultrafiltration, water glucose and sodium
A
do not pass through the glomerulus walls
B
pass from the p.c.t into the blood
C
move through the basement membrane
D
enter the collecting duct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ultrafiltration: It is a pressure driven process.-In this process, the high hydrostatic pressure forces small molecules such as water, glucose, amino acids, NaCl and urea in a tubular fluid through the filter across the basement membrane of Bowman’s capsule. This process is called the Ultrafiltration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Formation of urine-Ultrafiltration The high hydrostatic pressure forces passes small molecules, such as water, glucose, amino acids, sodium chloride and urea through the filter, from the blood in the glomerular capsule across the basement membrane of the Bowman’s capsule. This process is called as ultrafiltration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ultrafiltration: Blood enters the glomerulus under pressure because the efferent arteriole is very narrow. Due to that pressure, it undergoes filtration, which is called ultrafiltration. Most of the particles get filtered; that is why it is called ultrafiltration.
