Which molecule moves back in the the bloodstream by osmosis in the loop of Henle?
A
Urea
B
Red Blood Cells
C
Proteins
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liquid entering the loop of Henle is the solution of salt, urea, and other substances passed along by the proximal convoluted tubule, from which most of the dissolved components needed by the body-particularly glucose, amino acids, and sodium bicarbonate-have been reabsorbed into the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle. Its main function is to reabsorb water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. This conserves water for the organism, producing highly concentrated urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -In summary, the loop of Henle is surrounded by tissue fluid which has a high concentration of ions in it. This causes water to move out of the descending limb by osmosis. This produces a more concentrated filtrate because of this, ions move out of the loop in the thin ascending limb.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: The descending limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs water, the ascending limb is impermeable to water but salts are reabsorbed.
