A. Active transport
B. Passive transport
C. Osmosis
D. Endocytosis

Respuesta :

B; passive transport

Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport.

Option: B

Explanation:

The other name for Facilitated diffusion is carrier-mediated osmosis is actually the movement of molecules across the ‘cell membrane’ without the energy input. In this process, the movement of molecules takes place through special transport proteins that are present in the plasma membrane by either receiving or releasing ions. The active transport of molecules amplifies the membrane potential by allowing ‘passive transport’ of particular ions like potassium through high-affinity channels.
