Passive processes for movement of molecules across cell surface membrane are:
Correct answer: A. Facilitated diffusion and osmosis
- A. Facilitated diffusion and osmosis
- B. Pinocytosis and facilitated diffusion
- C. Diffusion and exocytosis
- D. Osmosis and phagocytosis
Explanation
Osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive processes of passage of molecules across the cell membrane but exocytosis and endocytosis are active processes of molecules across the cell.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
