Question

Based on the figure given below which of the following statements is not correct ? (A) Movement of solvent molecules will take place from chamber A to B (B) Movement of solute will take place from A to B (C) Presence of a semi-permeable is a pre-requisite for this process to occur (D) The direction and rate of osmosis depends on both the pressure gradient and concentration gradient

Solution A and solution B are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Solution A has higher water potential. Therefore, osmotic movement of water molecules (solvent molecules) will occur from solution A to B. Solute particles cannot pass through semi-permeable membrane.

Q. Based on the figure given below which of the following statements is not correct ?

Movement of solvent molecules will take place from chamber A to B

Movement of solute will take place from A to B

Presence of a semi-permeable is a pre-requisite for this process to occur

The direction and rate of osmosis depends on both the pressure gradient and concentration gradient

Solution $A$ and solution $B$ are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Solution $A$ has higher water potential. Therefore, osmotic movement of water molecules (solvent molecules) will occur from solution $A$ to $B$ . Solute particles cannot pass through semi-permeable membrane.
