Question

During osmosis, water passes through a semipermeable membrane

• A. From Low ${\psi }_w$ to High ${\psi }_w$
• B. From High solute concentration to Low solute concentration
• C. From High ${\psi }_w$ to Low ${\psi }_w$
• D. From Hypotonic solution to Hypertonic solution

Answer 1

The correct option is D From Hypotonic solution to Hypertonic solution

During osmosis, water passes through a semipermeable membrane from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution. Osmosis involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the solvent or lower concentration of solute to the lower concentration of the solvent or higher concentration of solute through a semipermeable membrane.

So, the correct answer is option D.
