Glucose is found in glomerular filtrate but NOT in the urine because
A)the kidney stores glucose as glycogen.
B)kidney cells require glucose because energy is needed for active transport.
C)glucose is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.

Glucose is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream by the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron, which has glucose transporters that allow glucose to be transported back into the bloodstream. This process is called glucose reabsorption and ensures that glucose is not lost in the urine.
