Question

Write true or false.

Semi-permeable membrane prevents the passage of the solute molecules.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

A semi-permeable membrane possesses microscopic pores that allow only smaller molecules, like water (the solvent), to pass through freely. It acts as a physical barrier that restricts or entirely prevents the passage of larger solute molecules (like sugar or salt). This selective filtering enables osmosis to occur.
