Answer 1

A	B	C	D	E
(iii)	(iv)	(i)	(v)	(ii)

Explanation:

1. PCT is responsible for 70-80% of water and electrolyte reabsorption.
2. DCT primarily functions in secretion. It also reabsorbs water and electrolytes including salt, calcium, and chloride, which helps to maintain ionic balance.
3. The counter-current mechanism is in charge of maintaining the concentration gradient in the medulla.
4. The primary function of the Henle loop is the generation of concentrated urine.
5. Renal corpuscles filter the blood.
