Question
Which of the following processes includes all others?Group of answer choicesfacilitated diffusiondiffusion of a solute across a membranepassive transporttransport of an ion down its electrochemical gradientosmosis
Solution
The process that includes all others is "passive transport".
Here's why:
-
Passive transport is a type of cellular transport where substances move along their concentration gradient, meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
-
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. It involves the use of a protein to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane.
-
Diffusion of a solute across a membrane is also a type of passive transport. It's the process where solute particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a membrane.
-
Transport of an ion down its electrochemical gradient is another example of
