Question

question 5 1 pts osmosis can be defined as ______. the diffusion of a solute the diffusion of nonpolar molecules active transport the diffusion of water

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion where water molecules move across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. It is not the diffusion of a solute (which is simple diffusion of solute particles), not the diffusion of nonpolar molecules (which is a different type of passive transport), and not active transport (which requires energy).

Answer:

the diffusion of water
