Solution

All of the above. Movement of substances across the cell membrane can occur through diffusion, osmosis, and bulk transport.

  1. Diffusion: This is a process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It doesn't require energy.

  2. Osmosis: This is a special type of diffusion where water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

  3. Bulk transport: This involves the movement of large particles or numerous particles at once. It can be either endocytosis (into the cell) or exocytosis (out of the cell). This process requires energy.
