Which statement best describes osmotic pressure? Pressure against the wall of a vessel caused by the force of fluid traveling through a vessel. A passive movement of fluid through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Pressure is caused by the differences in the concentrations of two solutions. A change in the consistency of a wall or membrane to allow more to pass through.

What fluid is creating interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure? Which type of movement is promoted by the capillary hydrostatic pressure: Filtration or absorption? Which type of movement is promoted by the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure: Filtration or absorption? Osmotic pressure is a term that describes a solution's total solute concentration (TSC). What is the relationship between TSC and osmotic pressure? (If TSC increases, how will that affect the osmotic pressure of a solution?)

Osmotic pressure increases because water enters the cell by osmosis. Osmotic pressure decreases because water exits the cell by osmosis. Osmotic pressure increases because solutes exit the cell by facilitated diffusion. Osmotic pressure decreases because solutes enter the cell by passive transport.
