Bowman’s capsule, along with the glomerulus, is responsible for the ultrafiltration of blood.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
Bowman’s capsule, along with the glomerulus, performs ultrafiltration by filtering blood plasma.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The glomerulus performs ultrafiltration, removing waste and excess substances from the blood.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
Urine concentration primarily occurs in the Loop of Henle and collecting ducts, not in the distal convoluted tubule.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The Loop of Henle plays a crucial role in water conservation by creating an osmotic gradient.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The Loop of Henle establishes an osmotic gradient that allows for water reabsorption and concentration of urine.

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) reabsorbs sodium and water under the influence of aldosterone.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is responsible for the bulk reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids, and ions.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
Reabsorption of glucose occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, not the collecting duct.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The distal convoluted tubule plays a role in acid-base balance by actively secreting potassium and hydrogen ions.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Nephron Structure - Tubules PCT Loop of Henle DCT Collecting Duct
The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) helps regulate blood pH by selectively secreting hydrogen ions.
