Question

Assertion (A): Osmosis is a biological process

Reason (R): Osmosis is a special type of diffusion of water which occurs through differentially permeable membrane

• A. Both A & R are true and R explains A
• B. Both A & R are true and R does not explain A
• C. A is true and R is false
• D. Both A & R are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both A & R are true and R explains A

The movement of water from higher water potential to lower water potential through living cell membrane which is differentially permeable is called osmosis. It is a biological process since there is a selectively permeable membrane involved in the process.
