Have you studied tonicity? To test your knowledge, you can take this tonicity practice test. Osmosis, in simple terms, is the movement of solvents from a higher solute concentration to the lower one through a semipermeable membrane. In the quiz below, you will get to test your understanding of different tonic solutions and how a solute is transferred. How about you try it out and see what you may learn about osmosis as a whole. All the best! You can share this informative quiz with others also.
