Answer: The osmotic concentration of plasma proteins in the venous side of capillaries helps reduce the amount of interstitial fluid in tissues by inducing: <u>passive H2O diffusion along a concentration gradient</u>.
Explanation:
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion. Water, like other substances, moves from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
This is because it says that the population tends to level off meaning that it stays around the same population size since it is the maximum amount of individuals that can survive.
