2. Briefly discuss your understanding to passive and active transport and draw how does it happen in a cell. ( 10 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes. ... The semipermeable membrane limits the diffusion of solutes in the water.
