Geeze, man, I don't think your hard drive is big enough to hold all of that information. Maybe try limiting your topic a little, such as "everything we know about a Carbon-Carbon single bond" which would likely fill several volumes in and of itself.

If you want people to answer your question you might want to try not insulting them, especially when you don't know the answer yourself.

That said, here are some definitions:

active transport is the movement of a substance across a biological membrane against its concentration or electrochemical gradient with the help of energy input and specific transport proteins.

diffusion is the spontaneous tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

a chemical compound is a chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemically bonded chemical elements, with a fixed ratio determining the composition.

a molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that retains the chemical and physical properties of the substance and is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together.

osmosis:the diffusion of water across a cell

diffusion:the movement of particles from an area where their concentration is high to an area where their is low

active transport:the movement of particles through proteins in the cellmembrane aginst the direction of diffusion
