Question
Water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in a process called:Question 14Answera.homeostasis.b.osmosis.c.facilitated transport.d.diffusion.e.feedback regulation.
Solution
The process by which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration is called osmosis. So, the answer is b. osmosis.
