The movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called?
A
cell membrane
B
respiration
C
osmosis
D
diffusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis: Osmosis is defined as the process of the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane. The process by which water molecules move from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas across the semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
