In osmosis, water moves across a selectively permeable membrane from a solution ofA.higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration until all of the water is on one side of the membrane.B.lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration until all of the water is on one side of the membrane.C.lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration until equilibrium is reached.D.higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration until equilibrium is reached.

When two solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a selectively permeable membrane, and osmosis is allowed to take place, the water will ________.exhibit a net movement to the side with lower solute concentrationexhibit a net movement to the side with lower water concentrationexhibit an equal movement in both directions across the membraneexhibit a net movement to the side with higher water concentration

Water always will flow by osmosis toward whichever side of the membrane has a lower concentration of ions.      has a lower concentration of water. is inside the cell. is outside the cell.

For each statement, indicate whether it is true or false Osmosis is the active transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane.    Aquaporins increase membrane permeability to water in some cell types, such as kidney cells.   During osmosis, water moves from a solution with proportionately more water across a selectively permeable membrane into a solution with proportionately less water.   Osmotic pressure is the force that assists water in moving by osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane.   The greater the concentration of a solution (the less water it has), the greater the tendency for water to move into the solution, and the greater the osmotic pressure to prevent that movement.
