MHT CET Biology question

The net filtration rate is

(A)Osmotic pressure – (capillary hydrostatic pressure + filtrate hydrostatic pressure)
(B)Capillary hydrostatic pressure – (osmotic pressure + filtrate hydrostatic pressure)Correct
(C)Filtrate hydrostatic pressure – (osmotic pressure + capillary hydrostatic pressure)
(D)Capillary hydrostatic pressure + Osmotic pressure

Answer: (B)

Solution

Filtration is driven by the capillary hydrostatic pressure and opposed by the blood osmotic pressure and the filtrate hydrostatic pressure, so the
