Which process moves water through a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Osmosis, the net movement of water down its concentration gradient
- Step 1: Water moves from a higher to a lower water concentration. Step 2. This movement across a partially permeable membrane is osmosis. Answer: Osmosis, the net movement of water down its concentration gradient. Why not the others: Diffusion, active transport and respiration are different processes.
