Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane is called ____
A
Active Transport
B
Diffussion
C
Respiration
D
Osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -osmosis. The correct option is D. Explanation of correct option: Osmosis is a simple diffusion process. The process of spontaneous net flow of solvent molecules from a selectively permeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration is referred to as osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semipermeable membrane. If two solutions of different concentration are separated by a semipermeable membrane, then the solvent will tend to diffuse across the membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution. This process is called osmosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
