Question

Which phrase is the best description of osmosis?

A. net movement of molecules across the nuclear membrane until the number of molecules on each side is nearly equal


B. random movement of oxygen molecules across a concentration gradient until the number of molecules is nearly equal


C. movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration


D. movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas to lower concentration

Answer 1

movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration

Answer 2

The correct answer is D movement of molecules from areas og higher concentration to the areas of lower concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is one of the most important membrane transport mechanism that belongs to passive transport.

During osmosis target molecules such as water are transported from the region of high concentration to the region of low concentration until the concentration on both sides becomes equal.

Osmosis requires a semipermeable membrane to take place.
