Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is osmosis, which specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport refers to the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient, while diffusion refers to the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. None of the listed responses accurately describe the process of net movement of water across a membrane.
