Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
). The movement of water, by definition, across a selectively permeable membrane is by
osmosis. Facilitated transport is the movement of substances—sometimes water and a solute—through channel proteins embedded in specific sites in the plasma membrane. Phagocytosis is the wholesale infolding of the plasma membrane to engulf particles too large to pass through the membrane. Active transport, of course, is the use of energy to facilitate the movement of a substance across the membrane, where the substance, without the addition of energy, would not normally be transported across the membrane. Finally, if the membrane is permeable only to water, the solute will not be transported across the membrane.
