What is the best explanation for the microvilli on the apical surface of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)?
◦ Their movements propel the filtrate through the tubules.
◦ They increase the surface area and allow for a greater volume of filtrate components to be reabsorbed.
◦ They increase the amount of surface area that comes in contact with the blood's plasma to help actively excrete toxins.
◦ They hold on to enzymes that cleanse the filtrate before reabsorption.
