Question
**What is happening in #4?**

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image is an illustration of a cell membrane showing different transport mechanisms across the lipid bilayer.

1. **Section labeled (1):** Represents a section of the cell membrane, composed of a phospholipid bilayer.

2. **Left Transport (2 & 3):** Shows a small blue molecule passing through the membrane, indicating passive transport, likely simple diffusion or osmosis.

3. **Middle Transport (4 & 5):** Illustrates sodium ions (Na⁺) moving through a protein channel. This represents active transport, where ions are moved against their concentration gradient with energy input, marked by #4.

4. **Right Transport (6 & 7):** Shows larger orange molecules being moved through another protein channel, suggesting facilitated diffusion.

**Answer Options:**
- ○ passive transport - simple diffusion
- ○ active transport
- ○ passive transport - osmosis
- ○ passive transport - facilitated diffusion
