Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	endocytosis
B	osmosis
C	facilitated diffusion
D	pinocytosis

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of water molecule from a region of higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion; it is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water moves across cell membranes by diffusion, in a process known as osmosis. Osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, with the solvent (water, for example) moving from an area of low solute (dissolved material) concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
