4. The cell membrane below is divided into three sections to show three different types of transport that can occur across the membrane. For each type of transport:
a. **Draw and label** the type of molecule that would use that specific transport (water, glucose, oxygen, etc.)
b. **Draw an arrow** to represent which direction the molecule would be moving across the cell.

### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram features a three-part illustration of a cell membrane showing different types of transport mechanisms - Diffusion, Osmosis, and Active Transport.
#### **Diffusion:**
- **Description:** Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- **Molecules Involved:** Generally small, nonpolar molecules like oxygen or carbon dioxide.
- **Direction:** This is generally from the outside (high concentration) towards the inside of the cell (low concentration).
#### **Osmosis:**
- **Description:** Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
- **Molecule Involved:** Water (H₂O) molecules.
- **Direction:** From a region of lower solute concentration (hypotonic) to higher solute concentration (hypertonic) across the cell membrane.
#### **Active Transport:**
- **Description:** Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move molecules against a concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
- **Molecules Involved:** Ions like Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, or larger molecules like glucose.
- **Direction:** From the inside of the cell (low concentration) to the outside (high concentration), or vice-versa, depending on the specific needs of the cell.
**Note:** The diagram does not include arrows or labeled molecules; these should be added to show the direction and type of molecule for each process as described.
