Question

molecules naturally move from high to low concentrations and this is called diffusion. when water diffuses it has a specific name. what is it called? symbiosis osmosis

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The question is about the specific name for the diffusion of water. In biology (a subfield of Natural Science), osmosis is defined as the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration). Symbiosis refers to a close and long - term biological interaction between different species, which is not related to the movement of water molecules. So the correct term for the diffusion of water is osmosis.

Answer:

Osmosis
