Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, small molecules, such as small proteins, glucose, electrolytes, and water, can go through these layers and are filtered out. But large molecules such as abundant proteins, and cells (red blood cells) cannot cross the glomerulus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus filters the blood and removes water, glucose, salts and waste urea from it. The blood is under high pressure at the start of the nephron, which aids the filtration of the blood. These waste substances all pass from the capillaries in the glomerulus into the Bowman’s capsule. This purifies the blood.
