Answer:

Nope Nope Nope, They cannot pass through it

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis describes the diffusion of the solvent through a semipermeable membrane. The driving force of the solvent shift is the concentration difference of solutes in the solutions separated by the semipermeable membrane. In contrast to solvent, solutes cannot pass this barrier.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, solute molecules are larger in comparison to solvents, so they cannot pass through the semi-permeable membrane.
