Describe osmosis. A)The passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a solution with a higher solute concentration to a solution with a lower solute concentration. B)The active movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a solution with a lower solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration. C)The active movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a solution with a higher solute concentration to a solution with a lower solute concentration. D)The vesicular transport of water molecules out of a cell. E)The passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a solution with a lower solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
