|
|
Diffusion
|
|
|
Osmosis
|
|
|
Active Transport

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This spread of particles through random motion from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as diffusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion. It is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This is also referred to as the movement of a substance down a concentration gradient.
