Both active and passive mechanisms are used to move materials from the nephron back to the blood.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active and passive mechanisms are both used to transport materials such as ions, glucose, and amino acids back into the bloodstream from the nephron. Active transport requires the use of ATP while passive transport moves materials without the use of energy. Both types of transport are used in different parts of the nephron to regulate the composition of urine and maintain homeostasis in the body.
