4 what is osmosis? multiple choice the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane the active transport of water across a semipermeable membrane endocytosis of water the net movement of water from an area of low water concentration to an area of high water concentration
Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. It is a type of diffusion and does not require energy input (unlike active transport). Endocytosis is a different cellular process involving the engulfing of substances into the cell.
