Consider the figure and mark the correct option

Options

A. Water will move from side (A) to side (B) if pressure lower than osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B).
B. Water will move from side (B) to side (A) if pressure greater than osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B).
C. Water will move from side (B) to side (A) if pressure equal to osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B).
D. Water will move from side (A) to side (B) if pressure equal to osmotic pressure is applied on piston (A).

Answer

B

Explanation

Water will move from side (B) I to side (A) if a pressure greater than osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B). This is a process of reverse osmosis.
