Normally, in the process of osmosis, the net flow of water molecules into or out of the cell depends upon differences in the ?
Correct answer: A. Concentration of water molecules inside and outside the cell
- A. Concentration of water molecules inside and outside the cell
- B. Concentration of enzymes on either side of the cell membrane
- C. Rate of molecular motion on either side of the cell membrane
- D. None of these
Explanation
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, driven by a difference in water concentration on the two sides. Option c is a likely distractor because temperature affects molecular motion, but the defining factor in osmosis is the water concentration gradient.
