Here are the specific types of transport for each situation:
a. **Facilitated Diffusion** - Transporting O2 and CO2 occurs through facilitated diffusion, where these gases move across the cell membrane via specific transport proteins.
b. **Active Transport** - Transporting glucose typically involves active transport, especially through mechanisms like sodium-glucose co-transporters, which require energy to move glucose against its concentration gradient.
c. **Endocytosis** - When a white blood cell captures bacteria, it utilizes endocytosis, a process where the cell membrane engulfs the bacteria to bring it into the cell.
d. **Osmosis** - Transporting water occurs through osmosis, which is the passive movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane, usually via aquaporins.
