Identify the incorrect statement:
1.  The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes.
2. The ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.
3. DCT is capable of reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body.
4. PCT does not play any role in reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body.
