Question
question 4 1 pts in the case of osmosis, the membrane is semipermeable. this means what?
liquids can pass through but solids cannot
water can pass through but the sucrose cannot
In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane allows solvent (usually water) to pass but restricts solute (like sucrose) movement. The first option's "liquids vs solids" is incorrect as osmosis involves solvent - solute, not liquid - solid. So the correct option is about water (solvent) and sucrose (solute).
