Answer:
The correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion is a form of facilitated transport of molecules such as amino acid, glucose, and others through the plasma membrane involving the passive or indirect movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, which is led by the presence of another molecule normally a pore or channel made up of integral protein.
Facilitated diffusion depends on several factors such as the size of molecules, type of molecules, similarity of molecules to extracellular matrix or fluid that slow or fast the diffusion process.
Thus, the correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.
The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate test. The lower case "i" is merely for "in" as the Citrate test requires coliform samples to be placed "in Citrate". Triple sugar iron test (TSI), Urease Test and Malonate Test are also included in this test.
For each of the tests, different reagents are added to the species are inoculated and tested.
For Salmonella sp. the IMViC Test result is:
Indole - negative
Methyl red - Positive
Voges-Proskauer - negative
Citrate - positive
The answer is between A and C.
