Serenity Nash · Answer 1

Osmosis (Ans D)

Explanation:

Passive transport is naturally occurring phenomenon of diffusion (movement) of molecular substances or ions cross the cell membrane without any input of cellular energy, it can easily pass through cell membranes.

Osmosis : In osmosis when a substances (solvent molecules) pass through semipermeable membrane into a solution in order to balance the concentration of another substance.

Lamar Myers · Answer 2
