Please answer the following question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Another mechanism besides diffusion to passively transport materials between compartments is filtration. Unlike diffusion of a substance from where it is more concentrated to less concentrated, filtration uses a hydrostatic pressure gradient that pushes the fluidand the solutes within itfrom a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area. Filtration is an extremely important process in the body. For example, the circulatory system uses filtration to move plasma and substances across the. Q: What is used during filtration to push fluids and solutes, from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas? Choices: - constructs pressure gradient - limited pressure gradient - magnesium pressure gradient - hydrostatic pressure gradient A:
A:
hydrostatic pressure gradient
