Kaplan practice test #23
All of the following are characteristics of osmosis except
A. passive transport
B. occurs with water
C. solvent will spontaneously move from a hypertonic environment to a hypotonic environment
D. solvent spontaneously moves from an area of high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration
E. is a special form of diffusion.
answer is C.
I thought osmosis is movement of Solvent(water) from hypotonic to hypertonic. Choice D is saying that solute is moving so shouldn't it be false too?
by the way, isn't choice D facilitated diffusion? and choice C active transport?
