digestion

filtration

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: -Reabsorption is the movement of water and solutes from the tubule back into the plasma. Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Proximal convoluted tubule is involved in active reabsorption of sodium. The majority (about 70%) of sodium is reabsorbed here, into the cytosol of the epithelial cells of the nephron.
