Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.
Enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.
Sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.
Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

The statement that accurately describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell is:
Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
