It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.

sp2606 [1]

Answer: c) from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration

Explanation:

Microscopically, we can interpret osmosis as the passage of water through holes in the membrane. These holes are small enough to allow water to pass through, but not to the ions that carry a layer of hydration, that is, a layer of water molecules around them. Water flows through the membrane in both directions. However, the occurrence of osmosis indicates that the flow is more intense in the direction of the less concentrated medium to the more concentrated. Thus, there is an effective flow of water in one of the senses, called osmosis, from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration.
