The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is called osmosis. Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.

My name is Ann [436]

The answer is: There will be more mold on the moist slice and still none of the dry slice.

Molds belong to the kingdom Fungi. They are multicellular fungi consisting of multicellular filaments (hyphae). For growth, all molds need moist surface. This is the reason why in Gene's experiment, the only moist slice of bread was moldy. They have short life cycle, so 5 days were enough for molds to cover 50% of moist slice. Extended period of time will allow molds to spread more through moist surface if the surface remain moist.
