Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The basement membrane of the glomerulus is partially permeable and allows small molecules like glucose to pass through.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the filtrate exits the glomerulus, it flows into a duct in the nephron called the renal tubule. As it moves, the needed substances and some water are reabsorbed through the tube wall into adjacent capillaries. This reabsorption of vital nutrients from the filtrate is the second step in urine creation.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the glomerulus, blood filters into the Bowman’s capsule in a process called ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration is simply filtration that occurs under pressure. In this case, the afferent and efferent arterioles are responsible for generating pressure.
