Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.Osmosis can be made to do work.

Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane.

Answer

The phrases would be;

-A passive transport

-Movement of water molecules

-Through a semipermeable membrane

-From a higher concentration to a lower concentration

Explanation;Osmosis is the process by which water moves from its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis is an example of passive transport, since it does not require energy like the case of active transport.For example, when a cell is put in a hypotonic solution, a solution with more solvent concentration, the cells absorbs water from the solution through osmosis and increases in size.

i really wish i could answer this question for you

Answer from: Quest

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
