    The movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane is called :

    A)  electrolysis       

    B)         electrophoresis

    C)         osmosis              

    D)         cataphoresis

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The phenomenon in which, when two solutions of different concentration (one may be solvent) are kept separated by semi-permeable membrane, the solvent molecules start flowing from dilute solution to concentrate solution. This is called osmosis. Osmosis is a slow process and keeps on happening until the concentration of both solutions becomes equal.
