the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane up a concentration gradient from low to high, using energy

the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane up a concentration gradient from low to high, using no energy
the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane up a concentration gradient from low to high, using no energy

the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradie

Answer 1

The correct choice is: "the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradient from high to low, using no energy."

Explanation: Osmosis is passive (no ATP) and moves water from regions of higher water concentration (lower solute) to regions of lower water concentration (higher solute).
