Question

State whether the following statements are true or false .
Osmosis is concerned with the movement of water only and cannot directly affect the movement of dissolved substances into the roots and through the plant.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Osmosis is the movement of solvent from its higher concentration to its lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane. It does not affect the solute particles and does not facilitate their movements. Thus osmosis does not affect the movement of dissolved substances into roots and through the plant.

So the correct answer is 'True'
