Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The main criterion or factor that determines whether or not a substance is able to pass through the filtration membrane is the size of the molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular Basement Membrane. The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) represents the extracellular matrix component of selectively permeable glomerular filtration barrier that separates vasculature from urinary space.
Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerular filtration barrier selectively filters molecules based on size (70 kDa), electrical charge (the more cationic, the more permeable), and capillary pressure.
