Answers:
1. Facilitated diffusion: the process by which some molecules that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins.
2. Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
3. Diffusion: the spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until to they are equally concentrated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to one of high solute concentration.
Facilitated transport occurs when molecules cannot diffuse directly through a cell membrane but can diffuse down a concentration gradient through transport channels in the membrane.

<h2>Vasa recta </h2>
Explanation:
The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop
- The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
- The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
- Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
- Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
