Question

the process of ____________ is modeled in the plant cell diagrams seen here. a osmosis b tonicity c active transport d facilitated transport

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Plasmolyzed, flaccid, and turgid states of plant cells are due to water movement via osmosis in different tonicity environments. Tonicity describes the relative solute concentration of solutions, but it is not the process itself. Active transport and facilitated transport involve movement of substances other than just water and often require energy or carrier proteins, which is not the focus here.

Answer:

A. osmosis
