Answer
The phrases would be;
-A passive transport
-Movement of water molecules
-Through a semipermeable membrane
-From a higher concentration to a lower concentration
Step-by-step explanation;
- Osmosis is the process by which water moves from its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
- Osmosis is an example of passive transport, since it does not require energy like the case of active transport.
- For example, when a cell is put in a hypotonic solution, a solution with more solvent concentration, the cells absorbs water from the solution through osmosis and increases in size.
