DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the correct definition of osmosis?
A
passage of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration, through a permeable membrane
B
passage of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration, through a partially permeable membrane
C
passage of water molecules from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration, through a permeable membrane
D
passage of water molecules from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration, through a partially permeable membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Osmosis is the passive movement of solvent/water from a region of its higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane till equilibrium is achieved.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.

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.
