Membrane Transport Mechanisms Osmosis  Response Dissolved Ion Movement

Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane in response to dissolved ion movement, as seen in the intestine.

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane in response to differences in solute concentration, occurring in the intestine due to dissolved ion movement.
