    (d) (i)     Give two components of blood that that are not filtered at structure S. – Blood cells / Plasma protein           (2 mks)

    (ii)     Give reason why the components you have named in d (i) above are not filtered.          (2mks)

    They have very large molecules; structures that can filter through the pores in the glomerulus.

     

    (e) Give two nutrients reabsorbed at the part labelled S – Glucose / Amino acids                              (2 mks)

    (f)     What three adaptations would be expected in the structure L in a desert animal like a camel.                (3 mks)

    • Small glomerulus to reduce filtration of water.
    • Long loop of Henle to maximize reabsorption of minerals (sodium salt)
    • Very long distal convoluted lobule to increase surface area for water reabsorption.
    • Highly coiled distal convoluted lobule to allow more time for water re-absorption.
