- B.water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution across a permeable membrane
- C.water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
- D.water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane
- E.perspiration and excretion
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D (water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane)
Explanation
