C)filtration.
D)osmosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substances travel from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule by the process of filtration, which involves the passage of fluids and solutes through a filter or membrane under pressure. Diffusion refers to the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, while active transport requires the use of energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Osmosis refers to the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on either side. None of these processes accurately describes how substances move from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule.
