Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FILTERED OUT OF THE BLOOD IN THE GLOMERULUS?
A
WATER
B
PROTEIN
C
MINERAL SALTS
D
METABOLIC PRODUCTS
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 process of filtration of the blood in the Bowman’s capsule is ultrafiltration or glomerular filtration. Any proteins that are roughly 30 kilodaltons or under can pass freely through the membrane, but cells like platelets and large proteins do not. So, the correct answer is polypeptides.

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.
