Low selectivity of solute movement is a characteristic of
A) salt pumping to control osmolarity.
B) H⁺ pumping to control pH.
C) reabsorption mechanisms along the proximal tubule.
D) filtration from the glomerular capillaries.
E) secretion along the distal tubule.

Question

Filtration from the glomerular capillaries is a non-selective process, allowing molecules to pass through based on their size and charge. This is in contrast to reabsorption and secretion in other parts of the nephron which are selective based on the needs of the body.
