Question

Given figure represents demonstration of osmosis by egg membrane osmoscope. After few days, which of the following would have occurred?

• A. A rise in level X and a drop in level Y
• B. A drop in level X and a drop in level Y
• C. A rise in level X and a rise in level Y
• D. A drop in level X and a rise in level Y

Answer 1

The correct option is A A rise in level X and a drop in level Y

In the given figure, water from beaker enters into the funnel through the egg membrane. It is called endosmosis. It leads to the increase of X level in the funnel and decrease in the Y level of the beaker.

so, the correct option is ‘A rise in level X and a drop in level Y’.
