Question
Osmosis is a property of ______.
Options
solute
solvent
solution
membrane
Solution
Osmosis is a property of solvent.
Explanation:
Osmosis specifically describes the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis occurs due to the movement of solvent molecules, not solute molecules. The solvent moves to equalize concentration on both sides of the membrane. The entire process of osmosis depends on the solvent’s tendency to move across the membrane in response to the concentration gradient. While a semipermeable membrane is essential for osmosis to occur, osmosis itself is defined by the behaviour and movement of the solvent across this membrane.
