The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the process of separating solutes by a selective membrane, we will analyze each option provided and determine which one fits the description best. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a process where solutes are separated by a selective membrane, such as protein particles or blood corpuscles. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: Transpiration**: - **Definition**: Transpiration refers to the loss of water vapor from plant leaves. - **Relevance**: This process does not involve the separation of solutes through a selective membrane. - **Conclusion**: This option is not correct. 3. **Analyzing Option 2: Endosmosis**: - **Definition**: Endosmosis is the process where solvent molecules move into a cell placed in a hypotonic solution, causing the cell to swell. - **Relevance**: This process does not involve a selective membrane for separating solutes. - **Conclusion**: This option is not correct. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: Dialysis**: - **Definition**: Dialysis is the process of separating particles of colloids from those of crystalloids by diffusion through a permeable membrane. - **Relevance**: In dialysis, a selective membrane is used to separate solutes based on their size, which aligns with the question's description. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 5. **Analyzing Option 4: Diffusion**: - **Definition**: Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. - **Relevance**: This process does not specifically involve a selective membrane for separating solutes. - **Conclusion**: This option is not correct. 6. **Final Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **Option 3: Dialysis**.

  • Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semi-permeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side. Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.
