Filtration is a non-selective, passive process in which water and solutes are forced through a membrane by hydrostatic pressure. The following property limits movement of some solutes.
A) hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature of solutes
B) temperature of the fluid
C) tonicity of the solution being filtered
D) size of the membrane pores

Question
