A person has a normal blood glucose concentration. Glucose is present in newly formed filtrate and also in the final urine. No large plasma proteins are present in the filtrate.
Which process is most likely to be impaired?
filtration of glucose from the blood into Bowman's capsule
selective reabsorption of glucose from the nephron into the blood
retention of large plasma proteins in the glomerular capillaries
transport of urine from the kidney along the ureter
