Question
water makes up a large percentage of the bodys cells. for a cell to remain in homeostasis, there must be a mechanism to control water changes in the cells. the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration is diffusion osmosis active transport stable transport
Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water - concentration to an area of low water - concentration across a semi - permeable membrane, which helps control water changes in cells for maintaining homeostasis. Diffusion is a more general movement of substances from high to low concentration. Active transport requires energy and moves substances against the concentration gradient. Stable transport is not a recognized term here. So the movement of water described is osmosis.
