Biology Question on excretory system
In nephron, water absorption is maximum in
A
proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
B
ascending limb of Henle
C
descending limb of Henle
D
distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
Answer
proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
Explanation
Solution
In nephron, water absorption is maximum in proximal convoluted tubule. PCT increases the surface area for reabsorption.
It reabsorbs most of the nutrients, and 70-80% of electrolytes and water.
