Coffee grounds are mixed with water before being placed in a funnel filter. The large grounds remain in the filter, but the small particles pass through
A)from low concentration to high concentration.
B)from low hydrostatic pressure to high hydrostatic pressure.
C)by hydrostatic pressure that is greater on one side of the membrane than on the other.
D)from low osmotic pressure to high osmotic pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described involves the movement of water and small coffee particles through a filter due to hydrostatic pressure, which is greater on one side (where the mixture is placed) than on the other (where the filtered liquid comes out). This is not an example of osmosis or a concentration gradient-driven process, but rather one of physical filtration influenced by pressure differences.
