Osmosis
Yes, the movement of water across the plasma membrane, known as osmosis, depends on the relative concentration of solutes. Water will move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
No, the hydrophobic tails of the plasma membrane do not directly promote osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. The hydrophilic heads of the plasma membrane allow water molecules to pass through, while the hydrophobic tails help maintain the structural integrity of the membrane.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed osmosis. This process involves the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. Osmosis plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of water and solutes within living organisms.
There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.
Molecules that are large, polar, or charged generally do not pass easily through the plasma membrane. These types of molecules require transport proteins to facilitate their movement across the membrane. Examples include glucose, ions, and water.
The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. Water moves from where it is in higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive transport and does not require any energy expenditure by the cell.

Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
