Question

During osmosis, water moves through a semipermeable membrane–

• A.

  From	To
  Low water potential	High water potential

• B.

  From	To
  High solute concentration	Low solute concentration

• C.

  From	To
  High osmotic potential	Low osmotic potential

• D.

  From	To
  A hypotonic solution (less solute)	A hypertonic solution

Answer 1

The correct option is D

From	To
A hypotonic solution (less solute)	A hypertonic solution

Osmosis is the process in which water moves through a semi-permeable membrane according to the concentration gradient, that means from a solution of high water concentration to a solution of low water concentration.
This involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the solvent or lower concentration of solute to the region of lower concentration of the solvent or higher concentration of solute through a semipermeable membrane.
So, the correct answer is option 'd'.
