Large plasma proteins are found in a person's urine. These proteins are normally retained in the blood during filtration.
Which explanation best accounts for this observation?
damage allows the proteins to enter the filtrate at the glomerulus
damage prevents the proteins from entering the filtrate at the glomerulus
the bladder converts glucose into proteins after urine has formed
the ureter converts urea into proteins before urine enters the bladder
