Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Concept of Osmotic Pressure:** - Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the flow of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. It is a measure of the tendency of water to move into a solution. 2. **Identifying the Sink:** - In the context of plants, a "sink" refers to a part of the plant where substances (like sugars) are being used or stored. Common sinks include roots, fruits, and growing tissues. ...
