Dissolution and diffusion. The same process out of water is evaporation.

What is the eventual result of diffusion describe concentration prior to and at this point?
The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.
When the concentration of solutes outside the cell and inside the cell are in equilibrium the solution is said to be?
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
Is it true that Movement of water across the plasma membrane depends on the relative concentration of solutes or dissolved substances?
Yes it is true.
Can reabsorbing of solutes influence the reabsorption of water from the tubule fluid?
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.

That process is called osmosis.

Is the movement of water to try to balance concentrations?
Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of a solutes to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of solutes to high concentration solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.

Can the reabsorption of solutes influence water reabsorption in the nephron?
Yes, The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
