NEET Biology question
Not in NEET syllabus
The given table shows properties of four cell systems A, B, C and D. The maximum rate of inward diffusion of water will be observed in which of these systems?
System | Intracellular concentration of water | Extracellular concentration of water --- | --- | --- A | 0.09 M | 0.11 M B | 0.2 M | 0.5 M C | 0.05 M | 0.7 M D | 0.03 M | 0.6 M
Answer: (C)
Solution
Water diffuses inward from the region of higher water concentration (extracellular) to lower water concentration (intracellular); the rate of inward diffusion is greatest when this difference (extracellular − intracellular
