alleryGlomerular filtration is BEST described as
AA facilitated transport of glucose
BA type of active transport process
CAn ultra-filtration of blood plasma
DA simple diffusion of nitrogenous wastes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. An ultra-filtration of blood plasma
High glomerular capillary pressure drives plasma through three layers (capillary endothelium, basement membrane, podocyte slits).
Almost all plasma constituents except proteins pass through, so it is termed ultra-filtration.
