5.Assertion : A special type of diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis. Reason : The net direction of osmosis depends on the pressure gradient. (a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. (b) If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c) If assertion is true but reason is false. (d) If both assertion and reason are false.
- A.If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- B.If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
