Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the movement of water across a membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
A
osmosis
B
equilibrium
C
differentiation
D
diffusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -4. Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.

Detailed explanation-4: -’Osmosis is flow of solution from higher concentration to solution of lower concentration through semi-permeable membrane’.
