Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell process where water moves through the cell membrane to an area of higher concentration is ____
A
photosynthesis
B
cell respiration
C
osmosis
D
active transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis can be defined as the spontaneous movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a lower-concentration solution to a higher-concentration solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water moves across cell membranes by diffusion, in a process known as osmosis. Osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, with the solvent (water, for example) moving from an area of low solute (dissolved material) concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
