Question

Which of the following would be an example of osmosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane into the water. Another good example of osmosis would be dipping a sponge into water, because there is a higher concentration outside, so the water goes in and makes the sponge expand

Answer 2

Answer:

B) the shriveling of a cell after salt is poured on it

Explanation:

During osmosis, water moves from a low concentration to a high concentration. Since the salt is outside the cell membrane, it makes the outside have a higher concentration than the inside of the cell; causing the water to move from the cell and the cell shriveling.
