Question

question 2
osmosis requires which of the following?
a aquaporins, water, and a solute gradient
b a solute gradient
c water
d atp
e aquaporins
f atp, aquaporins, water, and a solute gradient

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. Water is the substance that moves, a solute gradient provides the driving force, and aquaporins are membrane - bound proteins that can facilitate the movement of water in some cases. Osmosis is a passive process and does not require ATP.

Answer:

A. aquaporins, water, and a solute gradient
