Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Glucose is completely reabsorbed in the kidneys.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under normal circumstances, up to 180 g/day of glucose is filtered by the renal glomerulus and virtually all of it is subsequently reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule. This reabsorption is effected by two sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter (SGLT) proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Substances like glucose, amino acids, Na+, are reabsorbed by active transport whereas the nitrogenous wastes and water are reabsorbed passively.
