which of the following terms describe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane?
○ osmosis
○ diffusion
○ active transport
○ none of the above

Explanation:

Osmosis is defined as the diffusion of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Diffusion is the movement of particles (not specifically water in this context) from high to low concentration. Active transport requires energy and moves substances against concentration gradients. So the term for water diffusion across a semi - permeable membrane is osmosis.

Answer:

A. osmosis
