The movement of solvent molecules from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis
Question 6 Which among the following defines osmosis the best? (a) Movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane (b) Movement of solvent molecules from its higher concentration to a lower concentration (c) Movement of solvent molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration of solution through a permeable membrane (d) Movement of solute molecules from a lower concentration to a higher concentration of a solution through a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis is the process by which water moves from area of
solute concentration to
solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
Movement of molecules from the region of their higher concentration to the lower concentration region without the involvement of a semi-permeable membrane is
