Answer:

Explanation:

While passing through renal tubules, water and a lot of other substances are reabsorbed making filtrate concentrated. This also gradually results in an increase in the concentration of urea as it is not reabsorbed like water or glucose. Some substances like K+, H+ are also secreted (not urine).

ANTONII [103]

When two solutions are separated by the membrane through which water can pass but starch cannot, the osmosis will occur.

Osmosis is described as the spontaneous movement of water through membrane from a region of lower solute concentration into a region of higher solute concentration. Water movement tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
