Question
Solute contributes to the movement of water between cells and the surrounding medium by _____.a. osmotic pressureb. hydrostatic pressurec. Brownian movementd. random motion
Step 1
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane. It is also defined as the measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis. The more Show more…
