Question

What is the function of the osmotic gradient found in the kidney? The osmotic gradient allows for _____. the filtration of large cells at the glomerulus

Answer 1

Allows to reabsorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kidney uses energy to generate an osmotic gradient (that is the difference in the concentration of two spaces separated by a membrane). This gradient allows the kidney to reabsorb water, and so create more concentrated urine or less concentrated, depending on how hydrated the body is.
