Question
osmosis is the movement of _________ through a semi - permeable membrane. glucose oxygen water proteins
Osmosis is a process where water molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi - permeable membrane. Glucose, oxygen, and proteins do not move in the process of osmosis. Glucose and proteins are too large to pass through a semi - permeable membrane in the context of osmosis (unless specific transport mechanisms are involved, but that's not osmosis). Oxygen moves by simple diffusion, not osmosis.
