Compare and contrast simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. What will be an ideal response?
Simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion are all passive transport processes
because they transport is down a concentration gradient. In diffusion solutes diffuse from
higher to lower concentration through a biological membrane. In osmosis water molecules
diffuse from higher to lower concentration through a biological membrane. In facilitated
diffusion a specific transport makes the membrane permeable to a particular solute.
