Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water and small electrically uncharged molecules move easily through pores in the plasma membrane's lipid bilayer. This process, called passive transport, occurs naturally through any semipermeable barrier. It is driven by osmosis, hydrostatic pressure, and diffusion, all of which depend on the laws of physics and do not require life.
