7. During osmosis A) Pure solvent diffuses through a membrane, but solutes do not. B) Pure solutes diffuse through a membrane, but solvent does not C) Pure solvent and a solution both diffuse at the same time through a membrane. D) Gases diffuse through a membrane into a solution and build up pressure.

Respuesta :

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.
