Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filtration is the process by which blood is filtered through the walls of the capillaries in the kidneys to form urine. Blood pressure provides the energy for this process by forcing fluid and ions out of the capillaries and into the nephrons of the kidneys. Osmosis refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport refers to the movement of molecules or ions across a membrane against their concentration gradient, which requires energy expenditure. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the help of a transport protein. None of these processes are directly dependent on blood pressure.
