Question

  1. which type: of passive transport refers to the movement of only water molecules across a membrane?

facilitated diffusion
osmosis
diffusion
active transport

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Facilitated diffusion: Moves solutes via membrane proteins, not only water.
  • Osmosis: Defined as the passive movement of only water across a semipermeable membrane.
  • Diffusion: Moves any solute or substance down its gradient, not only water.
  • Active transport: Requires energy, so it is not passive transport.

Answer:

osmosis
