Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Osmotic pressure is a measure of tendency to take in water by osmosis. During urine formation, approximately two-thirds of the  and water filtered into Bowman’s capsule is immediately reabsorbed across the walls of proximal convoluted tubule. This reabsorption is driven by active transport of out of the filtrate and into surrounding peritubular capillaries. follows passively because of electric attraction and water follows them both because of osmosis.
