Biological membranes are selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to cross the membrane, but not others. classify the molecules or ions depending on how they cross a biological membrane. note that some of these examples may also utilize active transport to traverse a membrane. however, this question is limited to passive transport processes only.

Biological membranes are selectively permeable because they permit the transport of small molecules,gases and non polar,hydrophobic compounds across themselves.

Explanation:

Water is passed through the plasma membrane by facilitated diffusion with the help of a protein known as aquaporins which act as channel proteins.

     Various ions such as Na+,K+,Ca2+ are transport across the plasma membrane through various ion channel with the additional requirement of energy in form of ATP.

Example   Na+K+ATPase,H+ATPase,Ca2+ATPase etc.

Passive transport helps in the transport of gases,water molecules along their concentration gradient that is from high concentration region to the region of low concentration until the concentration of solute molecules in both the region becomes equal.

Example Diffusion,Osmosis.

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
