Question

Which is true regarding diffusion and osmosis? Question 3 options:

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Diffusion is defined as the transfer of particles such as ions or molecules from a higher concentration region to a lower concentration region.

Osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which the solvents such as water are allowed to move from a region of higher to a lower concentration through a layer of a semi-permeable membrane. This is an energy-independent process and occurs along the concentration gradient.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A) that is true for both osmosis and diffusion.
