Question

multiple choice question
osmosis involves which type of membrane transport?
endocytosis
active transport
exocytosis
diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration). Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion, specifically the diffusion of water. Endocytosis and exocytosis are processes for transporting large molecules or particles into or out of the cell by enclosing them in vesicles, and active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while osmosis does not require energy and follows the concentration gradient of water (related to solute concentration gradient).

Answer:

D. Diffusion
