Question

  1. what process is indicated in the picture below? simple diffusion osmosis active transport facilitated diffusion protein pump

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The image shows molecules moving across a plasma - membrane with the help of carrier proteins from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This is the characteristic of facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion occurs without the help of carrier proteins. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules. Active transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient and requires energy. Protein pumps are involved in active transport.

Answer:

Facilitated Diffusion
