Which of the following is true of the filtrate that is formed in Bowman's capsule of the the mammalian kidney? Answer
A. It resembles plasma with the same osmolarity as plasma and most of the same molecules, except for large proteins. B. It differs significantly from plasma with a lower osmolarity and only waste molecules remaining. C. It resembles plasma with the same osmolarity as plasma and all of the same molecules. D. It differs significantly from plasma with a higher osmolarity and only waste molecules remaining. E. There is very little resemblance between the filtrate and plasma.
I think E, but IDK, if someone can know for sure.

Basically small molecules such as water, glucose, salt (NaCl), amino acids, and urea pass freely into Bowman's space, but cells, platelets and large proteins do not. As a result, the filtrate leaving the Bowman's capsule is very similar to blood plasma in composition as it passes into the proximal convoluted tubule
Getting it ?
so A?
