Osmosis is defined as: Group of answer choices the movement of a solute down its concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane the movement of water down its concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane the movement of a solute across a semi-permeable membrane the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane
