Answer: ASolution: Malpighian corpuscle (A) is the site of ultrafiltration. A considerable amount of water is reabsored in the collecting duct (E) under the influence of ADH. Proximal convoluted tubule (C) is the main site for the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids. in distal convoluted tubule (D), both hydrogen ions and ammonium ions are secreted, thus is maintains blood pH.
