Most of the solutes are reabsorbed from the ultrafiltrate in the Proximal convoluted tubule. This includes ions, certain water-soluble vitamins, glucose, etc. Glucose is reabsorbed with the help of a Sodium/Glucose co-transporter called SGLT 1 in PCT and SGLT 2 in PST.So, the correct answer is 'Proximal convoluted tubules'.

Q3
The following diagram represents a mammalian kidney tubule (nephron) and its blood supply.
Parts indicated by the guidelines 1 to 8 are as follows:
1. Afferent arteriole from renal artery;
2. Efferent arteriole
3. Bowman's capsule,
4. Glomerulus;
5. Proximal convoluted tubule with blood capillaries;
6. Distal convoluted tubule with blood capillaries;
7. Collecting tubule;
8. U-shaped loop of Henle.
Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow:
Which structure (normally) contains the lowest concentration of glucose?
