Which of the following are not passed on to the lumen of Bowman’s capsule during glomerular filtration?(a) Fat molecules(b) Glucose(c) Water(d) ProteinsI had been asked this question in class test.I need to ask this question from Urine Formation topic in chapter Excretory Products and Elimination of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Correct choice is (d) PROTEINS

The explanation: Proteins are not PASSED on to the lumen of Bowman’s capsule during glomerular filtration because the BLOOD is filtered so FINELY through the podocytes of the Bowman’s capsule that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of Bowman’s capsule. This process of filtration of blood is KNOWN as ultra-filtration.
