The main substance re-absorbed into the blood in the nephron are glucose, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and water.
Almost all the glucose is reabsorbed at the proximal tubule of the nephron. Sodium, potassium and chloride are reabsorbed at the ascending loop of Henle, and water is reabsorbed at the descending loop of Henle.
Other nutrients that are reabsorbed are magnesium, phosphates, carboxylate, bicarbonate, amino acids, some urea, proteins and oligopeptides.
Reabsorption occurs in two steps namely active or passive extraction of sustances from the fluid in the tubules of the nephron, and into the interstitium , then transport of these substances from interstitium and into the bloodstream.
The toxic condition characterized by retention of
nitrogenous substances in the blood is called uremia. Uremia is a toxic condition caused by
retention in the blood of nitrogenous waste products normally excreted in the
urine. Acute renal failure denotes a
sudden onset of renal failure, such as that caused by an accident, certain
drugs or poison. The kidneys may recover or the damage may be permanent. If the
kidneys stop functioning this condition is what they called uremia, therefore
the body is full of extra water and
waste products, leading to swelling in the hands or feet, fatigue and weakness.
End-stage renal disease refers to when the kidneys have lost all or nearly all
function.

Answer:
The movement and interaction of tectonic plates helps to explain many of Earth's features. Interpret data showing topography, the age of the sea floor, the location of volcanoes, and the location of earthquakes to predict the location and type of plate boundaries in a region.
Explanation:
Answer:
east to west
Explanation:
The stars and moon are the celestial bodies which are located at distant.
The distance of stars vary but moon and sun remain same. As our Earth rotates at its own axis, other celestial bdies seem to move.
As Earth spins from west to east, the stars and moon seems to move from east to west direction at night and same with Sun, it also seem to move from east to west.
Hence, the correct option is east to west.
