Question

Which of the following statements correctly describes osmosis?- In osmosis, water moves across a membrane from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration.- Osmosis only takes place in red blood cells.- Osmosis is an energy-demanding or "active" process.- In osmosis, solutes move across a membrane from areas of lower water concentration to areas of higher water concentration.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:  In osmosis, water moves across a membrane from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomena by which water moves through a semipermeable membrane following a concentration gradient. It means that water moves from regions with lower solute concentration to sites of higher solute concentrations. For example, when an individual cell is subjected to a hypertonic solution (a solution with high solute content), water inside the cell tends to get out. This kind of process is spontaneous, it means it does not require energy supply
