B)forces water to move across a semipermeable membrane.
C)can be opposed by hydrostatic pressure.
D)increases as solute concentration increases.
E)All of the answers are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane due to a difference in solute concentration. It is dependent on the concentration of solute particles, and the solution with the higher solute concentration will have a greater osmotic pressure. This pressure can be opposed by hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, all of the given options are correct.
