Passive transfer of solvent occurs in:: (A) Osmosis, (B) Diffusion, (C) Pinocytosis, (D) All of the above
Answer is A. The diffusion of solvent molecules into a region in which there is a higher concentration of a solute to which the membrane is impermeable--is called osmosis Diffusion: net flux of solute paicles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Pinocytosis is an active process (cell drinking)
