supernatant - liquid above and solid in the bottom, the supernatant is the liquid above that is going to be poured off (to separate the solid and the liquid)

filtrate - it is also the liquid part but the solid and liquid is separated differently, for example coffee the filter paper holds on to residue (solid) and the liquid part (filtrate) passes

I think that is the difference.

Difference between filtrate and urine?

What causes filtrate to flow?

Filtrate flows due to a pressure difference between the blood in the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule in the kidney. This pressure difference is created by the blood being under higher pressure than the Bowman's capsule, allowing fluid and small molecules to be filtered through the filtration membrane.

What is a major difference between filtrate in the nephron and urine leaving the bladder?

Filtrate in the nephron is a fluid derived from the blood plasma that undergoes filtration and further processing in the renal tubules before becoming urine. Urine leaving the bladder is a final product of the filtration and reabsorption process, containing waste products, excess water, and electrolytes that the body needs to eliminate.

What is the opposite of supernatant?

The opposite of supernatant is "pellet."
