Answer 1

The correct definition of osmosis is:

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane down a concentration gradient from high to low, using no energy.

This choice correctly describes osmosis as a passive transport process where water moves to balance concentrations on either side of the membrane without the need for additional energy.
