Question

Which of the following statements are correct about the application of transport across the Plasma membrane?

• A. Unicellular freshwater organisms and most plant cells tend to gain water through diffusion.
• B. Phagocytosis occurs in WBCs.
• C. Diffusion occurs in plants and animals.
• D. Unicellular freshwater organisms and most plant cells tend to gain water through bulk transport.
• E. Unicellular freshwater organisms and most plant cells tend to gain water through osmosis.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (E)

Unicellular freshwater organisms and most plant cells tend to gain water through osmosis.

The applications of transport across the Plasma membrane are unicellular organisms and most plant cells tend to gain water through osmosis. WBCs perform phagocytosis to engulf foreign bodies. Plants and animals use gases through diffusion.
