Osmosis can be defined as diffusion of ____________
A. water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration B. water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution across a permeable membrane C. water molecules from a concentrated solution to a dilute solution through a semi-permeable membrane D. water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Osmosis, a special type of diffusion, is the movement of water molecules from a region of low salt concentration (high water concentration) to that of high salt (low water) concentration through a semi permeable membrane
