Osmosis transports water across membranes using ________.
A) ATP
B) solute pumping
C) aquaporins
D) sodium-potassium pump
E) vesicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporins are protein channels that specifically facilitate the diffusion of water molecules across biological membranes. Osmosis, the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, relies on the presence of these channels, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, D, and E are also involved in cellular transport but are not directly related to the movement of water in osmosis.
