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 per- requisite for this process to occur.
D. the direction and rate of osmosis depends on both the pressure gradient and concentration gradient.

Answer 1

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