Question

Rapid water absorption takes place by :

• A. Osmosis
• B. Active absorption
• C. Both A & B
• D. None of this

Answer 1

The correct option is A Osmosis

Osmosis takes place rapidly whenever there is an osmotic gradient developed across a semi permeable membrane.

Whereas active absorption only takes place when there is energy available to drive the absorption of water rapidly.

So the correct answer is ' Osmosis'.
