Question

the direction and rate of osmosis is controlled by

Answer 1

Explanation:

The direction and rate of osmosis depend upon the sum of two forces, pressure gradient(gradient of ψp) and concentration gradient(gradient of ψs). The net force or gradient is determined by the difference in the water potentials of solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane.
