Passage of a permeable substance from a more concentrated solution to an area of lower concentration is called osmosis.Transport requiring a carrier and cellular energy is active transport.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first statement is false; the second is true.Osmosis,active transport,and passive diffusion are three mechanisms that aid in transporting materials during absorption of nutrients.Passage of a permeable substance from a more to a less concentrated solution is called passive diffusion.Osmosis is the passage of water through a semipermeable membrane to equalize osmotic pressure exerted by ions in solutions.Active transport is accurately described in the question.
