B) diffusion
C) osmosis
D) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonpolar molecules can pass through a membrane by simple diffusion, which is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a membrane.
