Osmosis is a form of diffusion in which

Question

Osmosis is a form of diffusion in which (A) the solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from its region of higher chemical potential to its region of lower chemical potential. (B) the solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from its region of lower chemical potential to its region of higher chemical potential. (C) the solute moves through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. (D) the solute moves through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration.

Q. Osmosis is a form of diffusion in which

the solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from its region of higher chemical potential to its region of lower chemical potential.

the solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from its region of lower chemical potential to its region of higher chemical potential.

the solute moves through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

the solute moves through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration.

Correct answer is (a) the solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from its region of higher chemical potential to its region of lower chemical potential.
