Q1:

In osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane, diffusion of the

A solvent is from low concentration to high concentration region.

B solvent is from high concentration to low concentration region.

C solute takes place.

D none of these.

ANS:A - solvent is from low concentration to high concentration region.

In osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane, diffusion of the solvent occurs from an area of high solvent concentration to an area of low solvent concentration. Therefore, the correct statement is: "solvent is from high concentration to low concentration region."
