Which of the following statements is correct about diffusion?
It is very rapid over long distances.
It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell.
It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Water passes quickly through cell membranes because
The bilayer is hydrophilic.
It moves through hydrophobic channels

Gap junctions
Aquaporins
hydrophilic proteins
Carbohydrates
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard. Similar stalks left in a salt solution become limp and soft. From this we can deduce that the cells of the celery stalks are
