Which of the following can pass through a semi - permeable membrane ?

• particles that are bigger than the pores.

• particles that are smaller than the pores.

The blue dots represent ink molecules.

What process is this?

• diffusion

• osmosis

What process does the picture represent and why?

• Diffusion, because the particles are not water molecules.

• Diffusion, because there is no partially permeable membrane present.

• Osmosis, because the particles are water molecules.

• Osmosis, because there is a partially permeable membrane present.
