Question

question 1-1 which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell? ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges. enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism. sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide. water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize solute concentrations on both sides. Ions movement is related to electrical gradients (not osmosis), enzymes are related to metabolic reactions and not osmosis, and sugar movement for energy is related to cellular respiration and not osmosis.

Answer:

Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.
