Answer:
5. c. active transport of molecules across a membrane
6. b. osmosis
7. d. water entered the cells of the lettuce by osmosis
Explanation:
5. The diffusion of water does not involve the budding of the cell membrane. The production of proteins amino acids and asexual reproduction are unrelated to the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. Therefore, this is active transport of molecules across a membrane.
6. The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Transpiration is the process by which water leaves plant cells. Active transport requires energy. Capillary action is when water moves as a result of adhesion/cohesion.
7. When water enters the cells by osmosis, the cells become more turgid, making the lettuce crisp.
