When two solvents are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water flows from low solute concentrations to high solute concentr
ations. What would happen if external pressure is applied to the solution with higher solute concentration? A) The semi-permeable membrane will lose its activity. B) Water will stop flowing across the semi-permeable membrane. C) Water will flow more freely across the semi-permeable membrane. D) The concentration of solute will become equal on both sides of the membrane.
-Water will flow more freely across the semi-permeable membrane
Explanation;
-The movement of water from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration is called osmosis. It is the net movement of water molecules through a semi- permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration (lower solvent concentration).
-Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane.
ATP is an organic molecule and stands for adenosine triphosphate. It's involved in many important cell processes. ATP chemical reactions are essential because they provide the energy for biological life.
