Question
the diagram below represents a cell in water.
which of the following best describes the type of transport that is occurring?
osmosis, because water is moving across the cell membrane going against the concentration gradient.
diffusion, because water is moving across the cell membrane going against the concentration gradient.
osmosis, because water is moving across the cell membrane going with the concentration gradient.
diffusion, because water is moving across the cell membrane going with the concentration gradient.
La osmosis es el movimiento de agua a través de una membrana semipermeable (en este caso, la membrana celular) desde una región de menor concentración de solutos (mayor concentración de agua) a una región de mayor concentración de solutos (menor concentración de agua), es decir, con el gradiente de concentración. La difusión se refiere al movimiento de solutos, no de agua. Y el movimiento contra el gradiente de concentración requiere energía (transportes activos), lo cual no es el caso de la osmosis.
