Osmosis involves the movement of solutes across a semipermeable membrane. A) True B) False
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the statement about osmosis involving the movement of solutes across a semipermeable membrane is true or false. It tests knowledge on the concept of osmosis in biology.
Answer
False
The final answer is False.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is False.
More Information
Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules, not solutes, across a semipermeable membrane. This process occurs from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration, equalizing concentration on both sides.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing osmosis with diffusion of solutes. Remember, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, not solutes.
