Question #22e10

Answer 1

Yes, all are similar.

Explanation:

Osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion all three stand under passive transport. Passive transport is the transportation process which doesn't require energy ... energy like from Sun or mineral ions from soil.

Diffusion:

The net movement of particles from the higher concentration to a lower concentration down the concentration gradient until the equilibrium is reached.

Facilitated diffusion:

The net movement of the particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration down the concentration gradient until an equilibrium is reached, but with the aid of membrane-bound proteins.

Osmosis

The net movement of water molecules from the higher concentration to a lower concentration down the concentration gradient until the equilibrium is reached through a partially permeable membrane.
