Question

Which phrase best describes osmosis? A. the process where DNA is created B. the movement of molecules through the cell membrane C. the division process of the cell's cytoplasm D. the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Answer 1

The answer is; D. The movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

A is not correct because Osmosis does not create DNA.

B is incorrect because the movement of molecules through the cell membrane is called Passive Transport.

C is incorrect because the division process of the cell's cytoplasm is called Mitosis.

Thus brings us to D which is the correct answer because Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution, up a concentration gradient.

Answer 2

Answer by Mimiwhatsup: D. the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Why is this right by Mimiwhatsup: Osmosis is a process in which molecules pass through a membrane from less concentrated to higher concentrated one which equalizes it. I choose this one because it makes the most sense out of the rest because none of the rest explain it's process. Osmosis is a passive transport and which means it does not require energy to be applied.
