Water makes up a large percentage of the body’s cells. For a cell to remain in homeostasis, there must be a mechanism to control water changes in the cells. The movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration is.
a)diffusion
b)osmosis
c)active transport
d)staple transport
Answers
Answer is osmosis because cell membrane is semi- permeable and movement of water form high concentration to low concentration across a semi- permeable membrane is known as osmosis.
The ‘movement’ of water from an area of ‘high water concentration’ to an area of ‘low water concentration’ is termed as osmosis.
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
The term osmoregulation or the osmotic regulation can be defined as the maintenance of water and salt balance in the body membranes. The liquids that are presented within or outside the cell membranes are usually water, non-electrolytes, and electrolytes.
The body membranes are often termed as semi-permeable membranes. Here, the fluids are constantly getting flown in these membranes. And the excessive water and other wastes are excreted via kidneys, which helps in maintaining the osmo - balance or osmotic balance.
