What is the function of the osmotic gradient found in the kidney? the osmotic gradient allows for the filtration of large cells at the glomerulus

Allows to reabsorb water.

Explanation:

The kidney uses energy to generate an osmotic gradient (that is the difference in the concentration of two spaces separated by a membrane).  This gradient allows the kidney to reabsorb water, and so create more concentrated urine or less concentrated, depending on how hydrated the body is.

they each offer a fresh glut of resources to the organisms that can arrive and exploit them. as individuals and new species continue to appear, they actively and passively alter the environment. competition for shared resources increases, local abiotic and biotic conditions shift, and the relative abundances of species change accordingly. the process is called ecological succession, and it is one of the earliest and most well-known concepts in ecology.
