During osmosis, the semi-permeable membrane is one that:
A. does not allow any particles to pass through.
B. allows only very large particles through.
C. decides what particles to let through based on cell signals.
D. allows only very small particles or water through.

Respuesta :

Allows only very small particles or water through

Osmosis allows only very small particles or water through.

  • It is the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane.

What is osmosis?

  • Osmosis can be best defined as the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.
  • During osmosis, the solvent moves from the solution that is lower in solute concentration to the solution that is higher in solute concentration.

What are the examples of osmosis?

  • Feeling thirsty after having salty food.
  • Dialysis of kidney in the excretory system.
  • Swelling of resins and other seeds when they are soaked in water.
  • Movement of salt-water in the animal cell across cell membrane.

Hence, D option is correct.
