a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The type of transport (passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active diffusion) will occur in oxygen.

Introduction:

Passive diffusion is the way in which movement of ions, molecule substances across the membrane without the need of energy. Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across the membrane. Active diffusion is the transport way in movement of molecules across a membrane from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration so it required energy for this transportation.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The type of transport (passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active diffusion) will occur in glucose, no energy required.

Introduction:

Passive diffusion is the way in which movement of ions, molecule substances across the membrane without the need of energy. Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across the membrane. Active diffusion is the transport way in movement of molecules across a membrane from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration so it required energy for this transportation.
