In potato osmometer, which of the following process is involved?

Options

(a) physical process
(b) physiological process
(c) chemical process
(d) physico-chemical process

Correct Answer:

physico-chemical process

Explanation:

In potato osmometer, the potato scoop is filled with sugar solution and is kept in a beaker containing water. Now, due to osmosis which is the net movement of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region where their concentration is low through a differentially permeable membrane, water comes inside the potato.Since a chemical gradient is developed a long which there is physical movement of water, it is a physico-chemical process.
