Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During osmosis
A
water moves from high to low concentration
B
large or oddly shaped molecules move across a cell membrane
C
water moves when energy is used
D
proteins are built
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In osmosis, water moves from areas of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
