What type of transport involves the movement of water from high to low concentrations?
|
|
Diffusion
|
|
|
Active Transport
|
|
|
Facilitated Diffusion
|
|
|
Osmosis
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.
Detailed explanation-2: -1: Osmosis: In osmosis, water always moves from an area of higher water concentration to one of lower concentration. In the diagram shown, the solute cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane, but the water can.
Detailed explanation-3: -In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Diffusion can occur in any mixture, including one that includes a semipermeable membrane, while osmosis always occurs across a semipermeable membrane.
