Question

Which best describes how water moves during osmosis?

O
A. From passive transport regions to active transport regions
O
B. From active transport regions to passive transport regions
O
O
C. From high solute concentration to low solute concentration
D. From low solute concentration to high solute concentration

Answer 1

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Water potential is high in a region where solutes are less and vice versa.

So water moves from high potential (low solute concentration) to low potential (high solute concentration).

Answer 2

Answer: D. From low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is a process of movement of the molecules of the solvent like water passing through a semipermeable membrane like plasma membrane from a low concentration of the solute to the more concentration of the solute. Osmosis is a kind of passive transport, as it requires energy to occur.

For example, the movement of water molecule across the plasma or cell membrane into a cell with a high concentration of solute.
