Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Amino acids’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, amino acids, NaCl and other essential salts are reabsorbed in the second step of urine formation i.e Tubular Reabsorption. These essential substances are filtered from blood in the first step called glomerular filtration and are reabsorbed as they are vital for body function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Proximal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing approximately 65% of filtered load and most, if not all, of filtered amino acids, glucose, solutes, and low molecular weight proteins.
