Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a membrane from an area of high water concentration (hypotonic) to an area of low water concentration (hypertonic).

Answer: F
 Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be applied to a hypertonic solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane.

Answer: G
 Turgor is the pressure exerted by the contents of a cell against its cell wall. This pressure results from the movement of water into the cell due to osmosis, creating a hypotonic environment within the cell.
