Answer 1

The student is investigating the passive transport of diffusion.

In this scenario, the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached describes the process of diffusion, which is a type of passive transport that does not require energy. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, but in this context, the focus is on the movement of the red dye molecules.
