Question

RIT. Check Your Understanding tivity 1: Demonstrating the Function of the Filtration Membrane Is filtration an active process or a passive process? Explain. pODoive In this filtration demonstration, thedialysistulíngrepre Which two structures comprise the filtration membrane? Which substance(s) was(were) able to pass through the dialysis tubing (filtration membrane) in th activity? Why? . In a real kidney, which of the following substances is able to pass through the filtration membrane? Circle all that apply sodium, erythrocytes, glucose, urea, leukocytes, amino acids, immunoglobulins, potassium, fibrinogen Activity 2: Simulating the Events of Urine Production

Explanation / Answer

Is filteration is active or passive process. Explain? Filteration is a passive process.

In this filteration demonstration the dialysis tube represent the filteration membrane of Nephrons.Which two structures comprise the filteration membrane fenestrated capillary endothelium and podocytes(branching epithelium)

Which substances we're able to pass into dialysis tube in the activity? Why? Water, glucose, electrolytes such as sodium, pottasium, chloride, ions, urea, creatinine are able to pass through the membrane. The reason is because of selective permeability of the membrane to the molecules In blood. Starch can't pass through because of large particles.

4.sodium,glucose,urea,pottasium, are able to pass in real kidney filter.
