|
|
macro molecules
|
|
|
Glucose
|
|
|
Ammonia
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Under normal conditions, high molecular weight proteins in the plasma (e.g., albumin and globulin) cannot pass through the filtration membrane due to the effects of the size barrier and charge barrier of the glomerular capillary filtration membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular filtration is the process where the toxic waste chemicals and excess fluid are filtered out in the glomerulus in the nephrons of the kidney. The filtrate out from the glomerulus contains nitrogenous waste like ammonia, water, ions, etc., but is devoid of blood cells and major proteins.
