OpenStudy (abhisar):

Whatdo you think it should be?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Do you know about all the processes mentioned in the options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kind of

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So tell me which one do u think fits the situation and why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diffusion?

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Well that's correct.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\bf Osmosis\) is a special kind of diffusion in which water as a solvent moves from its higher concentration area to lower concentration area across a semi-permeable membrane.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\bf Active-Transport\) is on other hand is a process in which substances are transported from lower concentration region to higher concentration region by using energy.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\bf Facilitated-Transport\) is a kind of transport system which is guided by \(\bf Channel-Proteins\). This system does not require energy and transports the material from higher to lower concentration.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

The only option left is \(\bf Diffusion\). It is the process in which gases spread from their higher concentration to lower concentration.
