Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Substances such as glucose and amino acids, useful to the body are reabsorbed from the tubule in the proximal tubule. Proximal tubule is the portion of the nephron that lies between Bowman’s capsule and the loop of Henle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Selective reabsorption is the process whereby certain molecules (e.g. ions, glucose and amino acids), after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.
