What else can I help you with?
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
True or false Obligatory water reabsorption involves the movement of water along an osmotic gradient?
True. Obligatory water reabsorption in the kidneys involves the passive movement of water along an osmotic gradient, created by the active reabsorption of solutes like sodium. This process occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubule and the descending limb of the loop of Henle.
What is osmotic rupture?
Osmotic rupture, known as cytolysis, happens when a cell suddenly bursts due to an osmotic imbalance in the cell. This only occur in animals and protozoans who do not have cell walls to prevent the membrane from rupturing.
What is the term for the pressure that develpes when two solutions of varying conceration are separated by a membrane?
Osmotic pressure... you must be in my nutrition class :-)
Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs from what?
The net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This process is driven by the osmotic pressure gradient between the two sides of the membrane.
How does the movement of earth cause the apparent daily and annual movement of the sun and star?
The earth is on a constant rotation and coincides with patterns of other stars as well as the sun and moon. Movement is natural in our atmosphere and always occurs.
What happens when a movement occurs in two planes?
When a movement occurs in two planes, it is called turbulence.
What is osmotic thirst?
Osmotic thirst is triggered by an increase in the concentration of solutes in the blood, which leads to a shift in fluid balance within the body. This type of thirst occurs when there is an imbalance in the osmotic pressure between the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments, causing the body to seek out water to restore equilibrium.
How cell movement occurs?
Movement within the cell occurs by microtubules, which act like railroads to help transportation of vessicles and organelles. Movement of the cell itself occurs by either the cilia or the flagella.
Where is the greatest osmotic pressure in fresh water?
The greatest osmotic pressure in fresh water is typically found in the roots of plants. This is where water absorption occurs through osmosis to maintain turgor pressure and facilitate nutrient uptake.
Occurs when two solutions are in osmotic balance?
it takes many washing matchines to get this answers h20 produect
What forces always opposes motion?
Friction is the force that always opposes motion. It occurs when two objects rub against each other, slowing down their movement.
