Osmosis can be defined as the movement of
-
A.
Molecules from solution of higher concentration to low concentration -
B.
Molecules from solution of low concentration to high concentration -
C.
Water from solution of high concentration to low concentration -
D.
Water across a semi-permeable membrane from solution of low concentration to high concentration -
E.
Water across a semi-permeable membrane from solution of high concentration to low concentration
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation
Osmosis is a special case of diffusion in which only water molecules move from a region of high concentration to one where they are in low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
