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.

the correct answer is b. possesses the characteristic of compartmentalization of organelles, wherein the organelles are bound by membranes.
