In which direction does water move during osmosis?

• From an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration

• From an area of low water concentration to an area of high water concentration

• From an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration

• Water does not move in osmosis

The movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called ___________.

• active transport

• respiration

• osmosis

• diffusion

Which of the following best describes osmosis?

• Movement of solutes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

• Movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

• Movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.

• Movement of gases through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable mebrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

• the diffusion of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• the diffusion of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

What is the primary difference between diffusion and active transport in cells?

• Diffusion requires energy, while active transport does not.

• Active transport requires energy, while diffusion does not.

• Both processes require energy.

• Neither process requires energy.
