When water moves through a semipermeable membrane then which of the following pressure develops : -Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to lower water potential.
The pressure that develops in the solution due to the entry of water across the semipermeable membrane, i.e. the pressure that would have to be applied to stop this entry, is the osmotic pressure (O.P.).
In a living cell, the entry of water also produces turgor pressure (T.P.) against the cell wall.
So, as per the answer key, the pressure that develops is the osmotic pressure.
