Nutrient reabsorption from filtrate takes place mainly in the collecting duct of the vertebrate nephron. This statement is (T/F). • If true, enter x in the blanks below. • If false, then how would you change the sentence to make it correct? You can change two words at most. Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is" to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit. I would change the word(s) to the word(s) to make the sentence correct.

As the text noted, two-thirds of the water and solutes that the body reclaims by reabsorption in nephrons occurs in the proximal tubule. Proximal tubule cells have large numbers of mitochondria and demand a great deal of oxygen. Explain why.
Figure 41.6 Which of the following statements about the nephron is false? The collecting duct empties into the distal convoluted tubule. The Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerulus. The loop of Henle is between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle empties into the distal convoluted tubule.
