Question

which process is characterized by the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the plasma membrane without the use of energy?
hypertonic transport
active transport
passive transport
dynamic equilibrium

Explanation:

• Hypertonic transport is not a standard transport term.
• Active transport requires energy and moves particles against the concentration gradient.
• Passive transport moves particles from high to low concentration without energy.
• Dynamic equilibrium is a state, not a transport process.

Answer:

C. passive transport
