Answer: Option A.
Pure solvent diffused through a membrane but solutes do not.
Explanation:
Osmosis is process where solvents or molecules move from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane which tend to balance the concentration of solutes. Osmosis is passive transport i.e it does not require energy for movement.
During osmosis, pure solvent diffuses through a membrane, but solutes do not.
OSMOSIS:
- Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from a region of higher concentration of solvent to a region of lower concentration of solvent through a semipermeable membrane.
- During the osmotic process, which occurs as a result of concentration gradient (difference in concentration), solvent molecules move but solutes do not move.
- This accounts for the reason solvent concentration increases across the membrane but solute does not.
