The oxygen and carbon dioxide crosses the plasma membrane by the process of:
Correct answer: C. Passive diffusion
- A. Active diffusion
- B. Facilitated diffusion
- C. Passive diffusion
- D. Random diffusion
Explanation
Passive diffusion, also known as simple diffusion, is a process by which molecules move across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is responsible for the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the Plasma membrane.
