active transport
question 14
1 pts
sometimes large molecules that cannot cross a membrane develop a very high concentration on one side of the membrane. what is the name of the process where water spontaneously crosses the membrane going from relatively lower to higher concentration of these molecules?

Explanation:

1. For the first question, passive transport is the movement of materials from high - to low - concentration areas without energy input. Equilibrium is a state, not a transport process. Osmosis is a specific type of passive transport for water. Active transport requires energy.
2. For the second question, osmosis is the process where water moves across a membrane from an area of lower solute (higher water) concentration to an area of higher solute (lower water) concentration.

Answer:

Question 1: A. passive transport
Question 2: Osmosis
