Which is True of simple diffusion of water?
A) Water usually enters a cell and produces a high osmotic pressure.
B) Water usually leaves the cell and produces negative osmotic pressure.
C) Water tends to enter and leave the cell equally, resulting in no pressure in the cell.
D) Water diffusion ultimately relies on the selectively permeable nature of the cell wall.
E) Water usually enters a cell and produces a very low osmotic pressure.
