QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
This is incorrect. The aquaporin 1 channel (AQP1) is involved in water reabsorption, not glucose reabsorption. The Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the primary transporter involved in the reabsorption of glucose in the nephron.

AQP1
QuestionChoice
This is incorrect. Whilst the SGLT1 transporter is involved in glucose reabsorption, it is considerably less important than the SGLT2 transporter in the nephron. SGLT1 accounts for the majority of dietary glucose uptake in the gastrointestinal tract.

SGLT1
QuestionChoice
This is incorrect. The Glucose/Hydrogen exchanger is not a component of the nephron. The Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the primary transporter involved in the reabsorption of glucose in the nephron.

e
Glucose/Hydrogen exchanger
QuestionChoice
This is incorrect. The Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) is involved in Na+, K+, and Cl- reabsorption, not glucose reabsorption. The Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the primary transporter involved in the reabsorption of glucose in the nephron.

d
NKCC2
QuestionChoice
This is correct. The Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the primary transporter involved in the reabsorption of glucose in the nephron. It sits in the proximal convoluted tubule and takes up a glucose molecule and Na+ ion together. It is responsible for the reabsorption of around 90% of the glucose.
