Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of small, electrically uncharged molecules through a semipermeable barrier is an example of diffusion. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable barrier, hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by fluids at rest, and active transport requires energy to move molecules across a barrier.
