• Osmosis
• Diffusion
• Active transport
• Transpiration

This is the definition for which word:The movement of water molecules from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water across a partially permeable membrane.

• Osmosis
• Diffusion
• Active transport
• Transpiration

Why is the evaporation of water from leaves important?
