Diffusion is the movement of the molecule (in gaseous form) from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is achieved. The movement of these molecules is always down the gradient and the movement of the molecules is stochastic
Endocytosis is the uptake of large molecule, that can't pass through the pores of the cell membrane, by a cell. It involves the invagination of the cell membrane engulfing the materials and budding off into a vesicle. The materials are therefore internalized and are transported into the cell.
Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. The material comes from inside of the cell and carried in a vesicle. The vesicle binds with the cell membrane and the part in contact with the cell membrane diffuses off. The contents of the vesicle are therefore emptied outside of the cell.
Phagocytosis is the ingestion of an organism such as bacteria by another cell such as a phagocytic immune cell or amoeba. The process of phagocytosis is similar to that of endocytosis. However, this process is aided by cell membrane receptors on the surface of the phagocyte that recognizes and binds the epitopes of the bacteria.
Osmotic pressure is the bare minimum pressure required to be exerted to prevent the movement of water, by osmosis, from a low concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

Here are the four postulates of natural selection, according to Charles Darwin:
1. variability - refers to different mutations that create different species
2. heritability - refers to the genes that are passed from one organism onto its descendants
3. overproduction of offspring - refers to the fact that more "children" is born than dies
4. natural selection - refers to those organisms that survive because they adapt to their surroundings better than those who will die
Answer:
Type Il cell.
Explanation:
Surfactant may be defined as the chemical that decreases the surface tension between the lungs. Pulmonary surfactant is the thin layer of fluid that increases the efficiency of gas exchange.
Type II alveolar cells of the lungs produces the surfactant. Lipida and proteins are the major constituent of the surfactant produced in the lungs. The surfactatnt is important for maintaining the integrity of alveoli.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, adults need around seven to eight hours. For teenagers they recommend nine to ten, and at least ten for children.
