When water moves across the cell membrane, it does so through a particular structure. Which statement best describes the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Osmosis is the process that best describes the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell.

Explanation:

  • Osmosis can be understood as the net shift of water molecules or its movement between the permeable membranes.
  • Osmosis is caused by the difference in solute concentration between the consecutive membranes.
  • Osmosis process do not transfer any ions and solutes contained by the water molecules.
  • The movement of water is always from the lower concentration level to higher concentration level.
  • Example of osmosis can be seen during the absorption and secretion of water in our small intestine.
