The movement of fluids between cellular compartments involves?
The movement of fluids between cellular compartments?
What two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane?
Two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane: -the concentration gradient of the ions -the effect of membrane potential (voltage) on the ions
Define glomerular filtration rate Name and describe the pressures which are effective at the glomerulus under normal conditions and result in glomerular filtration?
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
Why does a cell have a cell membrane?
The cell membrane does not just separate the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. It provides flexibility to the cell. It also creates a semi-permeable membrane, therefore letting osmosis of water occur. Without the cell membrane, cells would not be able to maintain equilibrium, and no cells would be able to survive today.
What is the process that forces molecules through membranes?
I don't think that question has one answer, considering how vast the field molecular science is and there are many things to consider, but I think what your looking for is "osmosis". The process in which a solvent (generally water) moves through a mostly permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent not to the solute) from a high solute concentration to a low solute concentration without energy inputs of any kind separating two solutions of different concentrates. hope this helps.
What forces the fluids through the membraNes in the kidneys?
hydrostatic pressure
The movement of fluids between cellular compartments involves?
The movement of fluids between cellular compartments?
What is the name of the pressure that forces fluids from capillaries into extracellular spaces?
Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
When hydrostatic pressure forces water across a membrane passively the process is called?
It's called Filtration
Process where cell forces out contents through membrane?
osmosis
What are the two forces that are in equilibrium in a star?
Hydrostatic and Equilibrium
Which are the two forces that primarily control capillary fluid exchange?
osmotic and hydrostatic forces
The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing is called .?
hydrostatic
What does it mean when your power steering pump forces fluids through the top?
It means its time to take your car to the shop.
What forces move fluid from intracellular to extracellular spaces?
Capillary hydrostatic force
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
Molecules within the blood are forced out through the walls of capillaries as a result of osmotic pressure?
false- osmotic pressure draws water in capillaries hydrostatic pressure forces water out
