Question

what type of molecule is transported across the cell membrane during osmosis? (1 point) sodium any solute oxygen water

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process of water molecules moving across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration (or from higher water potential to lower water potential). Sodium is transported by active or facilitated transport in most cases related to cell membrane transport for nerve impulses or ion gradients, not osmosis. Solutes do not move in osmosis (the membrane is semi - permeable to solutes in osmosis - related scenarios, meaning solutes can't pass freely). Oxygen moves across the cell membrane by simple diffusion, not osmosis. So the molecule transported during osmosis is water.

Answer:

D. water
