In the process of osmosis, the volume of solvent
Options
(a) remains the same
(b) increases
(c) decreases
(d) either increases or decreases
Correct Answer:
decreases
Explanation:
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion which involves the movement of water or other solvent molecules through a semipermeable (or differentially permeable) membrane from an area of high potential (pure solvent) to an area of low potential (more concentrate solution). In this manner volume of solvent decreases in the cell with higher potential while volume of solvent in the cell with lower water potential increases.
