Answer to Question 1

B
Fluids and solutes move across cell membranes by four processes: diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and active transport. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent such as water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower concentration to one that has a higher concentration.

Answer to Question 2

A
At the basic level of critical thinking a learner trusts that experts have the right answers for every problem. Thinking is concrete and based on a set of rules or principles.
