The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Osmosis**: - Osmosis is defined as the movement of water (solvent) from a region of lower solute concentration (dilute solution) to a region of higher solute concentration (concentrated solution) through a semi-permeable membrane. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options provided are: a) Potometer b) Bell jar experiment c) Thistle funnel whose mouth is tied with egg membrane d) Thistle funnel whose mouth is tied with paper 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Potometer**: This device is used to measure the rate of water uptake in plants, not specifically for demonstrating osmosis. - **Bell Jar Experiment**: This is typically used to demonstrate gas exchange or photosynthesis, not osmosis. - **Thistle Funnel with Egg Membrane**: The egg membrane acts as a semi-permeable membrane, allowing water to pass through while preventing solutes from passing, making it suitable for demonstrating osmosis. - **Thistle Funnel with Paper**: Paper does not function as a semi-permeable membrane, so this option is incorrect for demonstrating osmosis. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct option for the physiological demonstration of osmosis is the **Thistle funnel whose mouth is tied with egg membrane**. 5. **Final Answer**: - The answer to the question is **C) Thistle funnel whose mouth is tied with egg membrane**. ---
