Question

_________ is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential through semi permeable membrane.

Answer 1

Osmosis:

1. Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to lower water potential through a semipermeable membrane.
2. It is of two types:

• Endosmosis: It is the movement of solvent into the cell.
• Exosmosis: It is the movement of solvent out of the cell.
• The direction of the solvent is from the surrounding solution into the cell.

Final answer: Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane.
