Question

Select the correct statement about osmosis.

  1. Water molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration.
  2. Water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration.
  3. Water molecules move from lower concentration to lower concentration. 
  4. Water molecules move from higher concentration to higher concentration.

hintHint:

Osmosis can be best defined as the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.

The correct answer is: Water molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration.


    • Osmosis is a process of movement of solvents through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration. 
    • The semi-permeable membrane allows selected molecules to pass through it.
