DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Osmosis is the ____ movement of ____ molecules from a region of ____ water potential to a region of ____ water potential.
A
combined; water; higher; lower
B
combined; air; higher; lower
C
net; water; higher; lower
D
net; air; higher; lower
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from its region of higher concentration to its region of lower concentration through a membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
