Explanation / Answer
1 (d) Synthesis of urea is not the function of kidneys. It is the function of liver to synthesize urea and kidneys clear the urea.
2 (a) Hydrostatic pressure powers the process of filtration across glomerula. It aids about 20% of plasma that flows across the glomerulus to be filtered into the Bowman's capsule
3 (c) The liquid collected by Bowman's capsule may be best characterised as blood plasma minus blood proteins.
4 (a) The loop of Henle can be described as the thinnest section of the nephron.
5 (d) The Bowman's capsule can be described as the proximal end of the proximal convoluted tubule. This is cup like structure surrounding the glomerulus.
