Question

what type of transport is occurring in the image? endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

The image shows molecules moving across a membrane with the help of a transport - protein. Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process where molecules move with the concentration gradient and energy is not used. Osmosis is specifically for water movement. Endocytosis is a process of engulfing substances. Active transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient using energy. Since the molecules are moving with the concentration gradient and energy is not being used as per the options, it is facilitated diffusion.

Answer:

facilitated diffusion, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient
