Final answer:

Osmosis involves the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low to high solute concentration to equalize concentrations.


Explanation:

Osmosis is the process of water moving across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, aiming to equalize the concentrations.

This scenario with an 8 percent salt solution on one side and a 9 percent salt solution on the other would lead to osmosis of water from the left to the right side as water tries to balance the concentrations.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are different processes than osmosis, involving the movement of solutes using protein channels or cellular energy, respectively.
