Question

) when two aqueous solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a semipermeable membrane, and osmosis is allowed to take place, the water will
a.exhibit a net movement to the side with lower water concentration.
b.exhibit a net movement to the side with higher water concentration.
c.exhibit a net movement to the side with lower solute concentration.
d.exhibit an equal movement in both directions across the membrane.
e.not cross the membrane.

Answer 1

The answer is a.
osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential through a semi permeable membrane
