Proximal convoluted tubule of nephron is responsible for

  • filtration of blood

  • maintenance of glomerular filtration rate

  • selective reabsorption of glucose, amino acid, NaCl and water

  • reabsorption of salts only


C.

selective reabsorption of glucose, amino acid, NaCl and water

The cells of Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) have numerous microvilli which increases the surface area available for reabsorption. Mostly 65% of reabsorption takes place within the PCT only. It acts as a major site for the selective reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, water and different ions (such as hydrogen ions, bicarbonate ions, potassium ions, etc.).
