two containers have different solute concentrations. after osmosis occurs between the two containers, which is true?

Respuesta :

Of the following given choices;

A. Active transport begins to occur between the containers.

B. The concentration of solutes is the same everywhere.

C. Membrane proteins no longer contain solute particles.

D. Energy is produced by passive transport of solute


The answer is; B

Osmosis is a passive transport hence nor energy is expended during the process (different from active transport).  In osmosis, water molecules move from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution through a  semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is achieved (that’s is, both solutions are isotonic to each other).
