What would happen to net solute movement if the solute concentration of the filtrate were 350 milliosmol and that in the interstitial spaces of the kidney were 350 milliosmol?

Solutes would move toward the the interstitial space because 350 mOs is very low for the interstitial space. It is normally 1200 at the medullary-pelvis junction so solutes will move in that direction in an effort to normaleize it.

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 movement of gas molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration?
osmosis is the passive movement of a substance from a place where its concentration is higher, to another where its concentration is lower. This applies to gases, I guess
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
What are the two movement of homeostasis?
Which molecule moves to high concentration to low concentration
What is the movement of ions from high concentration to low concentration?
The movement of ions from high concentration to low concentration is called diffusion. In diffusion, ions move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. This process occurs spontaneously and does not require an input of energy.
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.
Can severe hypoalbuminemia lead to pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema?
There are two opposing forces controlling the movement of fluid from the blood into the interstitial compartment. One is the force of pressure which is driven by the heart and blood pressure which acts to push liquid into the lungs. The other force is osmosis which acts to keep liquid in the blood. The albumin in the blood increases the concentration of solutes in the blood and the water stays in the blood because of this. So hypoalbuminemia lowers the concentration of solutes in the blood and upsets the balance of forces to favor the movement of liquid into the interstitial compartment causing systemic oedema. however this does not generally happen in the lungs as the albumin concentration in the pulmonary interstitial fluid tends to follow that of the blood meaning oncotic forces are less important. So the answer is not usually.
Osmosis concerns the movement of what?
the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration
What is the movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration?
Diffusion
Is the movement of a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What is the movement a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What is the direction of the water movement of animal cell?
Osmosis the the movement of water from where it is higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the movement of molecules from great concentration to lesser concentration?
The movement of molecules from great concentration to lesser concentration is called diffusion. However when dealing water molecules it is referred to as osmosis.
How long does movement occur across a concentration gradient?
As long as there is a concentration gradient. This is because diffusion occurs which is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?
diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
When a solution as a greater concentration particles?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration. This is due to the random movement of the molecules.
