DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Osmosis is the movement of ____ across a semi-permeable membrane.
A
food
B
energy
C
oxygen
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is defined as the process of the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane. The process by which water molecules move from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas across the semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis helps regulate the flow of water in and out of cells, which is crucial to their function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from its region of higher concentration to its region of lower concentration through a membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Osmosis is a process by which the molecules of a solvent pass from a solution of low concentration to a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
