Question

Diffusion of particles through a membrane by means of a carrier molecule is called:
A)pinocytosis.
B)osmosis.
C)facilitated diffusion.
D)dialysis.

Accepted Answer

Facilitated diffusion involves the use of a carrier molecule to assist in the movement of particles across a membrane, whereas pinocytosis involves the engulfment of materials by a cell, osmosis involves the movement of water across a membrane, and dialysis involves the separation of substances based on their size and charge.
