What is the process of passively moving water from an area of lower particle concentration to an area of higher particle concentration?

A) Hydrolysis.
B) Osmosis.
C) Filtration.
D) Active transport.

Osmosis

The movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration to balance the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

Particle Concentration

Particle concentration is a measure of the number of particles in a given volume of liquid or air, important in various scientific and industrial applications to assess purity or contamination levels.

Hydrolysis

A chemical reaction in which water breaks down another compound, often splitting it into two or more substances.
