Question
osmosis can be described as...
all of these.
only involving the movement of water.
requiring a semipermeable membrane.
moving with the concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration) across a semi - permeable membrane. So, it only involves water movement (as it's specifically about water), requires a semi - permeable membrane (as the membrane allows water but not all solutes to pass), and moves with the concentration gradient (from high to low water concentration).
