Glomerular filtration is an ATP-driven process.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular filtration is not an ATP-driven process. It is a passive process that relies on the pressure gradient between the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule to filter blood plasma into the nephron. ATP is not directly involved in this process. However, energy in the form of ATP is needed for active transport processes that come later in the kidney's excretory pathway, such as reabsorption and secretion.
