Transport
Osmosis is the diffusion of water in passive transport, during osmosis water travels from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.Narwhals live in the ocean full of salt water; therefore, the organism is constantly using osmosis to move water in its body out to equal the amount of salt in its body and in the ocean. Diffusion is another type of passive transport that moves molecules from high concentration to low concentration. An example of a narwhal using diffusion would be when the narwhal rises to the surface of the ocean to inhale oxygen.
