Sample questions
-
1.Tick-mark the correct statements
- i.Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their lower concentration to that of a higher one.
- ii.Osmosis includes diffusion, but not vice-versa.
- iii.Osmosis is unidirectional.
- iv.Exosmosis may cause bursting of a cell.
- v.Semi-permeable membrane prevents the passage of the solute molecules.
- vi.In an experiment on osmosis, if external pressure is applied on a dilute solution, less water will pass into the concentrated solution.
-
2.What term refers to the relative concentrations of solutes in two solutions?
- A.Osmolarity
- B.Tonicity
- C.Diffusion
- D.Permeability
-
