DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Osmosis is the passage of ____ 1 ____ molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a ____ 2 ____ permeable membrane
A
1:sugar, 2:completely
B
1:sugar, 2:partially
C
1:water, 2:completely
D
1:water, 2:partially
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of water molecule from a region of higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances-i.e., solutes).

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Osmosis is the passage of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a solution with a high concentration to a solution with a lower concentration. It is a generalized process in which gases also participate.
