MCQ
Osmosis:
  • A
    Movement of water molecules from their lower concentration to their higher concentration through a semi permeable membrane.
  • B
    Movement of solutes from their lower concentration to their higher concentration through a semi permeable membrane.
  • Movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to their lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
  • D
    Movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to their lower concentration through a freely permeable membrane.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to their lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
(c) Movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to their lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a type of passive transport, where water molecules diffuse across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration (or lower solute concentration) to a region of lower water concentration (or higher solute concentration). This process does not require energy.
