D)facilitated diffusion.
E)hydrostatic infusion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This process is known as osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. The selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through, but it restricts the movement of other molecules or particles. Facilitated diffusion requires the help of carrier proteins, simple diffusion does not involve a membrane, endocytosis is the process of engulfing particles by cells, and hydrostatic infusion is not a biological process.
