Can you help me answer these true or false questions about the kidney?

1. About 20% of the renal plasma flow is filtered from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsules (GFR).





2. Due to filtration, the fluid within the Bowman's capsule contains no glucose.Can you help me answer these true or false questions about the kidney?
1. Of the 625 ml/min of plasma that goes to the glomerulus, 125 ml/min are filtered into Bowman's Capsule forming the filtrate (this is known as the Glomerular Filtration Rate). The remaining 500 ml/min remain in the blood and enter into the peritubular capillaries.


2. glucose is present in Bowman's Capsule
