Answer:

The predominant molecule that will be reabsorbed from the descending limb of the Loop of Henle is water.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the descending limb of the Loop of Henle is permeable to water but not to solutes such as glucose, albumin, or sodium chloride. As the filtrate flows down the descending limb, water is passively reabsorbed and the concentration of solutes increases.

Hope it helps!
