Water moves from an area of higher water potential (aka. "more water" in simple language) to an area of lower water potential (aka. "less water" in simple language).

For A, cells in carrots have water stored in their cytoplasm, where many soluble substances may be found (e.g. sodium ions). On the other hand, pure water has no other soluble substances other than the water molecules (I.e. H2O). Pure water will thus have a higher water potential as compared to the water in carrot cells, and so, water will move from pure water into the carrot cells via osmosis down a concentration gradient.

B. Corn syrup is water that has high concentrations of sugars, thus it is very likely to have a lower water potential than the cells of carrots. Water will move from within the cells of carrots and out to the corn syrup, down a concentration gradient.

C. The water in carrot cells will stay the same, since carrot cells have the same water potential as the surrounding solution which has the same water potential as cytoplasm.

Hope this helps! :)

When parallel light rays exit a concave lens,the light ray is?
ad-work [718]
When parallel rays exit a concave lens, the light rays are divergent.
The rays diverge or bend away from the axis it has been traveling upon entering the lens when it reaches the other side of the lens. These rays appear to have come from the same focal point before entering the concave lens. When these parallel rays are extended, it will be traced back to a single point of origin.
