Question

When placed in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell through an aquaporin channel. this is an example of?

Answer 1

Water can move into the cell through simple diffusion and through osmosis when the concentration of water outside the cell is lower than inside through aquaporins.

Aquaporins, also known as water channels, are channel proteins that produce pores in the membrane of living cells, primarily aiding the passage of water between cells and known as plumbing systems of the cell. They are part of a wider family of important intrinsic proteins. Aquaporins are proteins that allow water to enter and exit cells more quickly than through the phospholipid bilayer in a range of bacteria, fungal, animal, and plant cell membranes.
