what is the movement of water, containing no solute, across semi-permeable cellular membranes through proteins called aquaporins known

Answer 1

The movement of water across semi-permeable cellular membranes through proteins known as aquaporins is called osmosis. Osmosis specifically refers to the passive transport of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration (or higher water potential) to an area of higher solute concentration (or lower water potential) through a selectively permeable membrane. Aquaporins facilitate this process by providing a pathway for water molecules to move more efficiently across the membrane.
