Vedclass · Answer

(A) The movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential by the process of diffusion is specifically known as $Osmosis$. $1$. $Osmosis$ is a special type of diffusion where only solvent molecules (water) move. $2$. $Active$ $transport$ requires energy $(ATP)$ to move molecules against the concentration gradient. $3$. $Facilitated$ $transport$ involves the movement of molecules across a membrane with the help of special membrane proteins without the expenditure of energy.
