Answer:

Written my answer below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is diffusion

X is osmosis

Z is facilitated diffusion

A is a channel protein

B is a phospholipid bilayer

reason for Y: Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

reason for X: Osmosis occurs when water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. We know the water is undergoing osmosis in the diagram because there is a movement of water going through the phospholipid bilayer.

reason for Z: Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules through a channel protein from a high concentration to a low concentration.

reason for A: Channel protein is a protein which is used as a form of passive transport for molecules or ions.

reason for B: B shows a phospholipid bilayer. This is evident because this membrane is made up of phospholipids. the phosphate heads in the phospholipids are facing outwards and the fatty tails are facing inwards to form a phospholipid bilayer.
