- A Removing water is to osmosis A Adding water is to osmolarity B. Gated channels are to mediated transport B Lipid bilayers are to net flux. C.A 600 mOsm cell is to a 200 mOsm solution. (all nonpenetraing) C 53 molar (H₂0) cell is to a 54 molar (H2O) solution (all nonpenetraing) D Transporters are to simple diffusion. D Voltage-gated channels are to secondary active i transport A Removing water is to concentration A Adding solute is to dilution B. Heat energy is to diffusion B Transporters are to downhill gradients.
