Question

Which of the following statements is true ?O In dialysis only the solute travels through the semipermeable membrane.O In osmosis only the solute travels through the semipermeable membrane.O In dialysis only the solvent travels through the semipermeable membrane.O In osmosis the solvent and small solute particles travels through the semipermeable membrane.O In osmosis only the solvent travels through the semipermeable membrane.

Answer 1

In dialysis only the solvent travels through the semipermeable membrane

Step-by-step explanation

Here, we want to select the correct statement

Firstly, we need to get the difference between the two

While osmosis involves fluid movement from a region of higher concentration to lower across a semi-permeable membrane, dialysis seeks to establish equality in volume.

We can see that while osmosis in acheiving concentration balance, osmosis is acheiveing volume balance

Thus, the correct answer choice here is that :

"In dialysis, only the solvent travels through the semipermeable membrane"F
