1.	How is water reabsorbed in the initial segments of the nephrons?(a) By the active transport(b) By the passive transport(c) Water is not reabsorbed(d) Sometimes by active transport and sometimes by passive transportThe question was posed to me in class test.Asked question is from Urine Formation topic in chapter Excretory Products and Elimination of Biology – Class 11
Answer» The correct choice is (B) By the passive transport The best I can explain: REABSORPTION of water occurs passively in the initial SEGMENTS of the nephron. During urine formation, the TUBULAR cells secrete some substances into the filtrate to ENHANCE the reabsorption process.
