Detailed explanation-2: -Question: If a substance appears in the renal artery but not in the renal vein: It must be reabsorbed by the kidney Its clearance is equal to GFR It has the “filtration only” mechanism Its plasma clearance is equal to RPF Its urinary concentration must be higher than its plasma concentrationd.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nitrogenous wastes in the human body is removed by the kidney through ultra filteration.
