Answer Choices:
osmosis
🢒 Osmosis is an example of passive transport, meaning it does not require cellular energy (ATP).
🢒 It is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
🢒 Because it relies only on the concentration gradient, it is classified as passive.
🢒 In contrast, sodium/potassium pumps use ATP, and exocytosis and endocytosis are forms of active transport.
🢒 Osmosis is essential for maintaining cell volume and fluid balance.
