Exocytosis is a process by which cells
a) pass substances out of the cell in vesicles
b) pass substances out of the cell through the membrane by osmosis
c) release substances directly into the extracellular fluid through a pore

A lipid bilayer
a) permits water soluble molecules to pass through it

c) inhibits the passage of water soluble substances through it
d) actively transports water soluble molecules through it

Substances transported by facilitated diffusion
a) must have movements coupled to those of other substances
b) may flow to a region of higher concentration by the expenditure of energy
c) move passively through specific channels from an area of greater concentration to one of lower concentration
