Aquaporins may be employed during:
A)simple diffusion.
B)endocytosis.
C)active transport.
D)osmosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporins are primarily involved in osmosis, the diffusion of water across a membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Aquaporins facilitate the movement of water molecules through the membrane, but do not require energy input or active transport mechanisms. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are not correct.
