Answer 1

Passive transport includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, while endocytosis and exocytosis are types of vesicle transport.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Passive transport refers to the movement of substances across a membrane without any additional energy requirement. It includes processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
2. Osmosis specifically refers to the diffusion of water across a membrane, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
3. Endocytosis is a type of vesicle transport that moves a substance into the cell, while exocytosis is a type of vesicle transport that moves a substance out of the cell.
