Solution
The correct option is D a, c and d
Water potential of chamber B will more negative because it has more solute molecules and less water molecules compared to chamber A.
Diffusion of solute will not occur here because of semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion of solvent (water) will take place from A to B (higher water potential to lower water potential).
Osmotic pressure of chamber B is higher than chamber A because chamber B has more solute.
Hence, statements a, c and d are correct while statement b is incorrect.
Water potential of chamber B will more negative because it has more solute molecules and less water molecules compared to chamber A.
Diffusion of solute will not occur here because of semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion of solvent (water) will take place from A to B (higher water potential to lower water potential).
Osmotic pressure of chamber B is higher than chamber A because chamber B has more solute.
Hence, statements a, c and d are correct while statement b is incorrect.
