Which statement regarding Cl- reabsorption by the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule is true? Cl- is actively transported into the epithelial cell across the apical membrane and then actively transported out the basolateral side Cl- is actively transported out the basolateral side, thus allowing it to passively move into the epithelial cell across the apical membrane Cl- is not reabsorbed by the proximal tubule Cl- passively moves into the epithelial cell across the apical membrane through a Cl- channel, and then passively moves out the basolateral side Cl- is transported against its concentration gradient by a co-transporter across the apical membrane, and then passively moves out the basolateral side
