Glucose is taken back from glomerular filtrate through

1. Active transport
2. Passive transport
3. Osmosis
4. Diffusion

Correct answer: Active transport

Solution

Glucose is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule by carrier-mediated active transport, which requires energy. This allows the kidney to recover nearly all filtered glucose even when its concentration in the filtrate is low.
