Answer:
The function of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule of the nephron is to filter the blood and capture the filtrate (option D).
Explanation:
The set of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule is known as the renal corpuscle, and it is the structure responsible for the <u>filtration of blood and its uptake as urine</u>, which passes to the renal tubular system.
<u>The renal glomerulus</u> is the functional unit of the kidney, and is the structure responsible for filtering the blood that arrives through the renal capillary, to eliminate the waste products present in the blood.
<u>Bowman's capsule</u> surrounds the glomerulus and constitutes the second component of the filtration of blood plasma, in contact with the renal tubular system.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> A. Reabsorb water into the blood occurs in the renal tubules.</em>
<em> B. eliminate ammonia from the body. Ammonia is one of the waste substances, converted to urea, that is eliminated by the kidney.</em>
<em> C. reabsorb salts and amino acids, occurs in the renal tubules.</em>
