Water moves to where across a selectively permeable membrane to where the solute concentration is the highest. This is know as?
A
Simple Diffusion
B
Facilitated Diffusion
C
Osmosis
D
Active
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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 movement of a solvent across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.
