These are some ways how scientists and engineers develop, use and refine models.
1. Imagine. They have to know what exactly trying to model. They have to imagine and brainstorm what are the things to be considered.
2. Reason. Next, they need to answer the questions brought from their brainstorming. They need to be able to reason out.
3. Calculate and Predict. Once they know it, that's the time they can start modelling and calculate - and predict.
Answer:
Passive transport.
Explanation:
The transport of molecules across the plasma membrane can occur by the two process- active transport and passive transport. No amount of energy is required during the active transport.
Passive transport includes the diffusion and osmosis. Both the diffusion and osmosis do not require energy and the molecules move down from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration. Small molecules, ions and proteins can go through the passive transport.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
Contractions and water breaking!! Hope this helps.
