The movement of water and dissolved materials through a membrane from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure is called:
A)diffusion
B)osmosis
C)active transport
D)filtration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filtration is the process where water and dissolved materials move through a membrane from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure. This process is driven by hydrostatic pressure, distinguishing it from osmosis and diffusion, which are driven by concentration gradients, and active transport, which requires energy input.
