|
Hydrogen ions

|
ammonia

glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals salts

|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Selective reabsorption is the process whereby certain molecules (e.g. ions, glucose and amino acids), after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the reabsorption of solutes necessary for normal body function such as amino acids, glucose, and salts takes place in the proximal part of the tubule. This reabsorption may be active, as in the case of glucose, amino acids, and peptides, whereas water, chloride, and other ions are passively reabsorbed.
