Question

1. what happens during osmosis in the context of homeostasis? a. proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm. b. glucose molecules move from low to high concentration. c. water moves across a semi - permeable membrane to balance concentrations. d. atp is generated in the mitochondria.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to balance concentrations. Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes, glucose moves from high to low concentration by diffusion (not the other way around), and ATP generation in mitochondria is related to cellular respiration, not osmosis.

Answer:

c. Water moves across a semi - permeable membrane to balance concentrations.
