Question

is the inward movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane when the surrounding solution is less concentrated than the cytoplasm.

• A. Endosmosis
• B. Exosmosis
• C. Diffusion
• D. Active transport

Answer 1

The correct option is A Endosmosis

Endosmosis is the osmosis toward the inside of a cell or vessel.
It occurs when the solute concentration of the surrounding solution is less than that inside the cytoplasm. This type of solution is called hypotonic solution. Water molecules move into the cell across the cell membrane in endosmosis. Cells swell as a result of the movement of water into them.
