  • b. Osmosis.
  • c. Active transport.
  • d. Co-transport.
Answer
a. Passive diffusion.

16. A cell wall is a _ _ _ _ structure.

  • a. Semipermeable.
  • b. Selectively permeable.
  • c. Impermeable.
  • d. None.
Answer
a. Semipermeable.

17. Which of the following is not a part of the endomembrane system?
