Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blood cells and large protein molecules are not filtered by the glomerulus. These molecules don’t pass through the blood capillaries since they are large in size.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney glomerulus is a very specialized structure that functions in filtering blood and retaining essential plasma proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thin walls of the glomerulus allow smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid-mostly water-to pass into the tubule. Larger molecules, such as proteins and blood cells, stay in the blood vessel.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is polypeptides.
