Answer:
The composition of
glomerular filtrate and urine is not the same as the glomerular filtrate contains
a large amount of water and other dissolved substances such as urea, uric acid,
creatinine, amino-acid, glucose, sodium, potassium vitamins, etc.
Urine on the other
hand is a transparent, light yellow fluid, which is formed after rigrous reabsorption
and secretion from the filterate. It constitute about 95% water and 5% of other
organic and inorganic substances.
Organic
substances in urine includes nitrogen, urea, creatine, ammonia uric acid,
oxalic acid, vitamins, hormones and enzymes.
Whereas inorganic
substance in urine include chloride, phosphate, sulphate, potassium, sodium,
calcium, magnesium, iodine, arsenic and lead. Glucose is not found in urine normally.
Hence, composition of glomerular filtrate and urine is different.
