Question

On which side of a selectively permeable membrane does osmosis exert a pressure

Answer 1

It is the Hypertonic Side. Osmosis applies a weight known as osmotic weight on the hypertonic side of a specifically porous film. 
This implies osmotic weight should deliver a net development of water into a run of the mill cell that is encompassed by new water. On the off chance that that happens, the volume of a cell will increment until the point when the cell ends up plainly swollen. In the end, the cell may blast like an overinflated expand.
