  • water and sulphates

  • water and glycogen

  • plasma minus blood protein

  • concentrated urine

Solution

C.

plasma minus blood protein

Bowman's capsule is a double layered cup-shaped structure. Its visceral layer surrounds the glomerulus. During urine formation, water and many dissolved substances from the blood are filtered into the lumen of Bowman's capsule. The glomerular filtrate contains a large amount of water and other dissolved substances such as urea, uric acid, amino acids, glucose, sodium, potassium etc. The glomerular filtrate and blood plasma are similar except that glomerular filtrate does not have proteins and fats.
