Match each of the following components of blood (on the left) with what happens to it as the blood is processed by the kidney (on the right). Note that each lettered choice may be used more than once. 8. Water 9. Glucose 10. Plasma protein 11. Toxins or drugs 12. Red blood cell 13. Urea a. passes into filtrate; almost all excreted in urine b. remains in blood c. passes into filtrate; mostly reabsorbed d. secreted and excreted

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the function of the kidney in filtering blood, which includes removing waste products and reabsorbing necessary substances back into the bloodstream.
2. Understand that water (8) is filtered through the glomerulus and most of it is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream in the renal tubules, matching it with option 'c'.
3. Recognize that glucose (9) is a vital nutrient that should not be wasted, so it is completely reabsorbed after filtration, matching it with option 'c'.
4. Note that plasma proteins (10) are generally too large to pass through the filtration barrier of the glomerulus and remain in the blood, matching it with option 'b'.
5. Consider that toxins or drugs (11) are substances that the body needs to eliminate, so they are either filtered or actively secreted into the filtrate and then excreted in urine, matching it with option 'd'.
