Water will cross a membrane via facilitated diffusion from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. TRUE or FALSE? This means that more water molecules are moving into the area with the higher solute concentration. Group of answer choices True False

Water can only cross membranes via facilitated diffusion.
Adi S.
Diffusion is movement of water across a semipermeable membrane True or false
Benjamin D.
What is TRUE about the molecules in simple and facilitated diffusion? Select one: a. All hydrophobic, non-polar molecules will diffuse across the membrane only by simple diffusion and by unassisted means. b. In simple diffusion, water will diffuse by unassisted means, however, in facilitated diffusion, water will diffuse by aquaporin channels. c. In simple diffusion, ionized particles and small and large polar molecules, like Na+, urea, and glucose respectively, will all diffuse across the membrane using specific channel proteins. d. In facilitated diffusion, glucose will cross the membrane by sodium glucose secondary active transporter (SGLT), which is a uniport carrier protein. e. All of the above f. None of the above
