Question

What does osmosis involve?

• A. Diffusion of suspended particles from higher to lower concentration
• B. Diffusion of suspended particles from lower to higher concentration
• C. Diffusion of water from more to less concentrated side
• D. Diffusion of water from less to more concentrated side

Answer 1

The correct option is D Diffusion of water from less to more concentrated side

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from a region of its higher concentration (less solute concentration) to a region of its lower concentration (more solute concentration) across a semipermeable membrane that separates the two solutions till a level of equilibrium is reached.
