Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which water moves from a solution containing a low concentration of solute to what kind of solution?   a. a solution containing the same amount of solute     b. a solution containing only the solute     c. a solution containing a high concentration of water     d. a solution containing a high concentration of solute

D. a solution containing a high concentration of solute

Explanation:

Water alongside solutes tends to naturally move in the environment i.e. to and fro a cell. This movement is achieved when an osmotic gradient is formed during OSMOSIS. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of low concentration of solute (high concentration of water) to a region of high concentration of solute (low concentration of water) through a semi-permeable membrane (usually the plasma membrane).

The difference in solution concentration between a cell and its external environment creates the OSMOTIC gradient. Water moves until an equilibrium is achieved in both the cell and environment.
