osmosis is a form of passive transport. which defines osmosis? (1 point)
the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradient from
high to low, using no energy
the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane up a concentration gradient from low
to high, using no energy
the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane up a concentration gradient from low
to high, using energy
the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradient from
high to low, using energy
Osmosis is passive transport, so it uses no energy. Passive transport moves substances down (from high to low) their concentration gradient. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. So the correct definition is water moving down the concentration gradient (high to low) across a semipermeable membrane without energy.
