Question
Which statement below best identifies this form of cellular transport?
Responses
A Facilitated diffusion, because energy is not being used as a channel protein allows molecules to move with the concentration gradient.Facilitated diffusion, because energy is not being used as a channel protein allows molecules to move with the concentration gradient.
B Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.
C Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move water molecules with the concentration gradient.Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move water molecules with the concentration gradient.
D Endocytosis, because a vesicle is being formed to bring molecules from outside the cell into the cell.

The statement that best identifies this form of cellular transport depends on the context provided in the question. However, based on the choices given:
- **A (Facilitated diffusion)** applies if molecules are moving through a channel protein along their concentration gradient without the use of energy.
- **B (Active transport)** applies if energy is being used to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
- **C (Osmosis)** applies specifically to the movement of water molecules along their concentration gradient without energy.
- **D (Endocytosis)** applies if the process involves the formation of a vesicle to bring molecules into the cell.
Without additional context, it's not possible to definitively identify which statement is correct. If you can provide more details about the specific transport mechanism being described, I can help determine the best option.
