Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane without the use of any energy is called
A
endocytosis
B
diffusion
C
active transport
D
osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -osmosis. Osmosis is a transport pathway that allows the movement of water molecules down the concentration gradient across the plasma membrane in most living organisms. The process occurs passively without the need to expend ATP energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -OSMOSIS. Osmosis is a type of simple diffusion in which water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable membrane from areas of high water concentration to areas of lower water concentration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis. The net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Detailed explanation-5: -A special type of passive transport is the movement of water across a membrane, or osmosis. By definition, osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water potential (low solute concentration) to and area of low water potential (high solute concentration).
