Question
Why would it be proper to associate glucose with the first two processes involved in urine formation but not the third process? (pages $215-16$ )
Step 1
In this process, blood is filtered in the kidneys and glucose is one of the substances that gets filtered out. This is because glucose is a small molecule that can easily pass through the filtration membrane in the glomerulus of the kidney. Show more…

Why would it be proper to associate glucose with the first two processes involved in urine formation, glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption, but not the third process, tubular secretion? (pages $225-227$ )
The process of gluconeogenesis is only conducted in 2 places in the human body, the kidney and the liver, why would the human body restrict the synthesis of glucose?
Gluconeogenesis takes place during intense exercise, which seems counterintuitive. Why would an organism synthesize glucose and at the same time use glucose to generate energy?
