Question

Water will enter a cell, if it is placed in solution less concentrated than cell sap due to

• A. Endosmosis
• B. Diffusion
• C. Imbibition
• D. Plasmolysis

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Endosmosis

(A) Endosmosis is the movement of solution from outside of the cell to inside the cell.

(B) Diffusion is the movement of the molecule from higher concentration to the lower concentration.

(C) Imbibition is the special diffusion where water is absorbed by solid colloids to get an increase in the volume.

(D) Plasmolysis is the process of cell getting contracted due to the loss of water from the cell.

So, the correct answer is 'Endosmosis'.
