Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

The plasma fluid that filters out from glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s capsule of nephrons is called glomerular filtrate. It is a non-colloidal part and possesses urea, water, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, fatty acid, uric acid, creatinine salts, etc. RBCs, WBCs platelets and plasma proteins are the colloidal parts of the blood and do not filtrated out from glomerulus. Thus, plasma proteins are higher in concentration in blood than in glomerular filtrate.
