Vedclass · Answer

(B) The diagram shows the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a biological membrane.Since the movement occurs along the concentration gradient,it is a passive process,which is characteristic of diffusion.However,the process requires a specific membrane protein to facilitate the movement of molecules across the lipid bilayer.Therefore,this process is identified as facilitated diffusion,and the structure marked as $A$ is a transport protein.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Passive transport	$(p)$ Movement from higher concentration to lower concentration, no energy required
$(b)$ Active transport	$(q)$ Movement along the concentration gradient, requiring carrier proteins
$(c)$ Facilitated diffusion	$(r)$ Movement against the concentration gradient, requiring energy
$(d)$ Osmosis	$(s)$ Diffusion of solvent molecules across a semi-permeable membrane

Identify the means of transport represented below and the structure marked as $A$.
