selective reabsorption

|
tubular excretion

|
reabsorption of water
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose, amino acids, and salts can be reabsorbed against a concentration gradient and their transport across the nephron into the capillaries requires energy (see active transport).
Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport is the key to the reabsorptive processes in the proximal tubule. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed across the apical membrane of the proximal tubule by sodium-coupled secondary active transport.
