Question

what is the process of water moving across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration called? facilitated diffusion osmosis active transport diffusion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is the specific term for water movement across a semi - permeable membrane from high to low water concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of substances (not just water) with the help of transport proteins. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient. Diffusion is a more general term for the movement of substances (not limited to water) from high to low concentration.

Answer:

Osmosis
