Which of the following processes includes the other processes?

a) passive transport
b) active transport
c) facilitative diffusion
d) osmosis
e) exocytosis

okay well im not reallt sure

since passive transport involves like diffusion without energy while active transport involves energy. facilitative diffusion uses "help" to move things. Like ATP synthase is used to help move H+ ions from an area of high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of a solution from low to high concentration and exocytosis is when a cell secretes vesicles out of its membrane.
i just don't see how one can include all of them

To determine which of the given processes includes the other processes, we can break down each process and compare them:

a) Passive transport: This refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the expenditure of energy by the cell. It includes processes such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion.

b) Active transport: This refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane with the expenditure of energy by the cell, usually in the form of ATP.

c) Facilitative diffusion: This is a type of passive transport that involves the movement of substances across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. It allows substances to move down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.

d) Osmosis: This is a type of passive transport specific to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

e) Exocytosis: This is an active transport process in which materials are expelled from a cell by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing their contents to the extracellular environment.

Based on the explanations above, we can conclude that:

- Active transport (b) includes the other processes as it involves the expenditure of energy by the cell and can move substances against their concentration gradient.
- Passive transport (a) includes facilitative diffusion (c) and osmosis (d) but does not include exocytosis (e) as the latter is an active transport process.

Therefore, the correct answer is b) active transport.
