Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the filtrate into the cells of the proximal tubule is by:
A)secondary active transport.
B)diffusion.
C)facilitated diffusion.
D)antiport.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the filtrate into the cells of the proximal tubule occurs through secondary active transport, specifically via the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT), which uses the sodium gradient established by the Na+/K+ ATPase pump to drive glucose uptake against its concentration gradient.
