Question

multiple choice question the movement of a liquid from high pressure to low pressure, like water and dissolved solutes passing through tiny pores in capillary cells, is known as: osmosis active transport facilitated diffusion filtration

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low solute concentration to high solute concentration, not related to pressure differences for liquid and solutes through pores.
  • Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against concentration gradients, not from high to low pressure due to pressure differences.
  • Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of substances (usually larger or polar) through protein channels down their concentration gradient, not driven by pressure differences through pores.
  • Filtration is the process where a liquid (and dissolved solutes) moves from an area of high pressure to low pressure through a filter (like tiny pores in capillary cells), matching the description.

Answer:

D. filtration
