Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of molecules through a membrane from an area of high hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is referred to as filtration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. Simple diffusion is the movement of solute molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of a membrane or any energy input. Exocytosis refers to the process of releasing cellular material outside the cell by fusing a vesicle with the plasma membrane.
