AS FILTERED MATERIALS PASS THROUGH THE ____, SUBSTANCES NEEDED BY THE BODY ARE REABSORBED
A
GLOMERULUS
B
CONVOLUTED TUBULE
C
URETER
D
URETHRA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A large amount of reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule. Reabsorption is when water and solutes within the PCT are transported into the bloodstream. In the PCT this process occurs via bulk transport. The solutes and water move from the PCT to the interstitium and then into peritubular capillaries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, amino acids and other substances diffuse out of the epithelial cell down their concentration gradients on passive transporters and are then reabsorbed by the blood capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals-such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium-in your blood.
