Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across semipermeable membranes, from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. It does not involve the movement of other substances, such as glucose or lipid molecules. While charged particles can also move across semipermeable membranes, this process is not referred to as osmosis.
