Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following involves movement from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
simple diffusion
facilitated passive transport
both simple diffussion and facilitated passive transport
active transport
The movement of a substance across a membrane, from low to high concentrations of that substance (requiring the expenditure of energy, often in the form of ATP hydrolysis), is always categorized as:
active transport
facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion
passive transport
osmosis
Two aqueous solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a semi
permeable membrane. Osmosis is allowed to take place. The water will:
move towards the side with higher solute concentration
move towards the side with higher water concentration
move equally in both directions
not cross the membrane
