NEET Zoology PYQ (Inspired) – Set 1 | Human Physiology and Body Functions
These 10 NEET-level Zoology questions are inspired by previous NEET papers (2016–2024), rewritten uniquely while keeping the same NCERT concepts and difficulty pattern.
1. Which part of the nephron is primarily responsible for selective reabsorption of glucose?
Correct Answer: Proximal convoluted tubule
PCT has abundant microvilli and mitochondria, enabling active reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and ions.
