Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Water.
Key Points
- Osmosis:
- Osmosis is the process by which solvent molecules pass from a solution of lower concentration to a solution of higher concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
- It is a passive process that takes place without any expenditure of energy.
- Osmosis is the passage of water from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
- A plasma membrane or a cell membrane is a semipermeable or selectively permeable membrane that lets only certain molecules pass through it while keeping other molecules
- Movement is controlled by the osmolarity of two compartments.
- Sodium regulator of extracellular osmolarity.
- Potassium regulator of intracellular osmolarity.
Additional Information
- Diffusion:
- Diffusion is the process of particles moving from a highly concentrated region to a low concentrated region.
- The rate of diffusion of gases is higher when compared to liquids and solids as gases can move freely from one region to another.
- Diffusion is only possible if the matter moves continuously as diffusion means the moving of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration region.
