Question

Complete each statement regarding transport across the cell membrane. hydrostatic (blood) pressure osmosis hypertonicity low concentration to an area of high concentration filtration osmotic pressure facilitated diffusion high concentration to an area of low concentration gradient Simple diffusion describes the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Movement of fluids through a selectively permeable membrane caused by hydrostatic pressure is referred to as filtration. Fluids and small solutes are forced between cells of the blood vessel lining due to ____. Because of the inability of red blood cells and proteins to pass through the blood capillary wall, they exert a small amount of ___. This pressure results in the movement of water towards the area with a higher solute concentration, a process known as osmosis.

Explanation / Answer

Simple diffusion describes the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Movement of fluids through a selectively permeable membrane caused by hydrostatic pressure is referred to as filtration

Fluids and small solutes are forced between cells of the blood vessel lining due to hydrostatic (blood) pressure

Because of the inability of red blood cells and proteins to pass through the blood capillary wall, they exert a small amount of osmotic pressure

This pressure results in the movement of water towards the area with higher solute concentration , a process known as osmosis.
