abhisar · Answer

Alryt, so why do you think it's A? What is osmosis?

saylilbaby · Answer

the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

abhisar · Answer

Okay, and what is passive transport?

saylilbaby · Answer

I was thinking A or D it was a hard debation

abhisar · Answer

What is the difference between osmosis and passive transport?

abhisar · Answer

any clue?

abhisar · Answer

Osmosis, the term is used when we are talking about the movement of `water molecule (or any other solvent molecule)` from higher concentration to lower concentration across a $\bf semi~permiable$ membrane.

abhisar · Answer

This process requires no input of energy.

saylilbaby · Answer

so it is A

abhisar · Answer

For all other transportation which do not require any kind of energy input it is simply called passive transportation.

abhisar · Answer

Osmosis is transportation essentially in liquid medium.

abhisar · Answer

Oxygen? is it gaseous medium?

abhisar · Answer

are you getting my points?
