Question : Given figure shows U-shaped tube with two hands A and B separated by a semi-permeable membrane (i) Adding solute to the right side lowers the value of Psi_(s) Causing water tomove to the right side of the tube. (ii) Applying positive pressure to the left side decreases the vaule of Psi_(rho) causing water to move to the right side of the tube. (iii) Applying negative pressure to the left sidedecreases the value of Psi_(rho) causing water to move to the right side of the tube. Which of the above statements is//are true?

1.	Question : Given figure shows U-shaped tube with two hands A and B separated by a semi-permeable membrane (i) Adding solute to the right side lowers the value of Psi_(s) Causing water tomove to the right side of the tube. (ii) Applying positive pressure to the left side decreases the vaule of Psi_(rho) causing water to move to the right side of the tube. (iii) Applying negative pressure to the left sidedecreases the value of Psi_(rho) causing water to move to the right side of the tube. Which of the above statements is//are true?
Answer» `(i)` and `(ii)` `(i)` only `(iii)`only `(i),(ii)` and `(iii)` Solution :According to the GIVEN figure if solute is added to the right side `Psi_(s)` lowers This CAUSES water to move to the right side of the tube. When positive PRESSURE is applied to the left side `Psi_(rho)` increases causing water to move to the right side of the tube. Simiarly when NEGATIVE pressure is applied to the left side `Psi_(rho)` LOWER which causes water to move to the left side of the tube.
