It's not a response, it's diffusion. Water diffuses to regions with higher concentrations of ions, as the dilution of the ions is thermodynamically favourable.

How do you define osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in a response to gradients of concentration, pressure, or temperature. I got this from my Biology textbook.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
Is ATP needed for osmosis?
No - osmosis is the passive movement of water.
The movement of water molecules across selectively premeable?
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river. What takes place in the salmon's cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
What does osmosis involve the movement of?
Water
The movement of water is called what?
osmosis
Is osmosis the same as diffusion?
yes, but osmosis is specific for the movement of water.
Differentiate between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is related to movement of water where as diffusion is related to movement of gases.
Is movement of alcohol through cell membrane osmosis?
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
