Understanding Osmosis, Diffusion, and Filtration

What is the primary goal of diffusion in the body?

• To move fluids from high to low pressure

• To balance solute concentrations across areas

• To increase solute concentration in one area

• To filter out waste products

Which process is described as the 'wet version' of diffusion?

• Filtration

• Osmosis

• Evaporation

• Condensation

In osmosis, fluid moves from an area of:

• Higher pressure to lower pressure

• Lower pressure to higher pressure

• Lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration

• Higher solute concentration to lower solute concentration

What is the main driving force behind filtration in the body?

• Atmospheric pressure

• Vapor pressure

• Osmotic pressure

• Hydrostatic pressure

Which organ is primarily responsible for filtration in the human body?

• Lungs

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Heart
