`{:(" FROM"," TO"),("Low water potential","High water potential "):}`

B

`{:(" FROM"," TO"),("High solute concentration","Low solute concentration "):}`

C

`{:(" FROM"," TO"),("High osmotic potential","Low osmotic potential"):}`

D

`{:(" FROM"," TO"),("A hypotonic solution (less solute) ","A hypertonic solution (more solute) "):}`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules having high concentration (hypotonic solution) to low concentration (hypertonic solution) through a semipermeable membrane.
