Answer 1

Passive transport

1. The transfer of a solute from an area of high potential on one side of the cell membrane to a region of lower potential on the opposite side is referred to as passive transport.
2. The reabsorption might be active, as in the case of glucose, amino acids, and peptides, or passive, as in the case of water, chloride, and other ions.

Final answer

Water and urea are absorbed passively by our bodies.
