Passage of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called:
Updated On: Apr 26, 2024
- (A) Active transport
- (B) Pinocytosis
- (C) Facilitated diffusion
- (D) Osmosis
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
Passage of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis is defined as the diffusion of water or solvent from a solution of lower concentration to the solution of higher concentration or from pure solvent to the solution through semipermeable membrane. Thus water at the interface of cell wall and plasma membrane enters in to the cytoplasm of the root hair due to osmosis.Hence the correct option is (D).
