In reverse osmosis, the water travels from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.

In reverse osmosis, the water travels from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration. Correct Answer False

In the process of osmosis, the water travels from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration while in the process of reverse osmosis, the reverse of the above process takes place due to the presence of trans-membrane pressure.
