________ is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane, from a region of greater water concentration to a region of lesser water concentration.

A) Diffusion
B) Active transport
C) Osmosis
D) none of the above

Selectively Permeable

A property of cellular membranes that allows some substances to pass through while preventing the passage of others.

Osmosis

A process where water molecules move from a region of lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
This is the definition of osmosis. Diffusion refers to the net movement of particles across a membrane, active transport requires energy and moves substances against a concentration gradient, and "none of the above" does not apply as one of the options is correct.
