The passive transport used by water molecules to move across a cell membrane is called Osmosis.

In the case of water molecules, they do not require any specialized help to cross the cell membrane, for this reason, option B which indicates diffusion through the help of carrier proteins, is false. Option C is false as well given that Endocytosis is a form of active transport.

The remaining options are Diffusion and Osmosis. Though very similar, there is one key difference between the two. Diffusion occurs when particles move from a place of higher concentration to a lower concentration point, in order to achieve equilibrium.

The difference from Osmosis is that in Osmosis, the solvent particles can move without the need for other particles to move. This is the case for the small water molecules and because of this, the correct option is A.

Answer:

the answer is option c cellulose..

Explanation:

Cellulose is a molecule, consisting of hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright. Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fibre.

Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as energy storage

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.
