Water moves across the plasma membrane into or out of a cell by osmosis when O water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane toward a higher solute concentration water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane toward a lower solute concentration there is an equal solute concentration on both sides of the membrane a high solute concentration opens an aquaporin channel ATP hydrolysis drives aquaporin transport uestion 6 0 75 points Listen One way in which ions are specifically transported into the cell is via simple diffusion ABC transporters gated channels
