In a hypertonic solution, water flows through aquaporins embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell. This type of transport is best known as which of the following?

The movement of water from a region of high-water concentration to a region of low water concentration across a semipermeable is called osmosis. It is the diffusion of water that can occur in hypertonic solution, hypotonic solution and isotonic solution.

Phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and exocytosis are all examples ofactive transport. Active transport is a type of transport that uses energy. During phagocytosis, cells use their membrane to take in large molecules from the external environment.

In the process of diffusion, a substance tends to movefrom an area of high concentration to an area of low concentrationuntil its concentration becomes equal throughout a space.
