Diffusion of water from its pure state(or dilute solution) into a solution (or stronger solution) when the two are separated by a semi-permeable membrane is termed as osmosis. The direction and rate of osmosis depend upon the sum of two forces, pressure gradient(gradient of ) and concentration gradient(gradient of . The net force or gradient is determined by the difference in the water potentials of solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but incorrect'.

Have you ever paid much attention to advertisements for prescription drugs or thought about the influence they have over doctors and patients? Why or why not? Have you ever been prescribed a medication that you didn't think you really needed? Have you ever asked a doctor for a specific medication? Do you know people who have? There are lots of public health messages that discourage people from using illegal drugs. Do you think we live in an anti-drug culture? Why or why not?

There are lots of public health messages that discourage people from using illegal drugs. Do you think we live in an anti-drug culture? Why or why not? According to Garth Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, in Propaganda and Persuasion, "Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist" (2006, p.7). Keeping that definition in mind, would you agree with the argument that prescription drug advertising is a well-funded propaganda campaign? Why or why not? If you agree, offer some examples of other propaganda campaigns that might be compared to pharmaceutical advertising. If you disagree, explain your reasoning.
