Modified True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the
statement true.

____ 1. Reabsorption of useful substances back into the blood from the collecting tubule of the kidney occurs in the
glomerulus. _________________________
____ 2. During reabsorption in the renal tubule of the kidneys, glucose and water enter capillaries in the nephron.
_________________________
____ 3. Blood pressure in the glomerulus is higher than the blood pressure in most of the body’s other capillary
vessels. _________________________
____ 4. In the kidneys, the process of reabsorption differs from the process of filtration because water exits the
convoluted tubule during reabsorption. _________________________

Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
