Answer:

hypertonic

Explanation:

The solution in side A is<u> hypertonic</u> with respect to side B.

<em>A hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher concentration of solutes in comparison with a neighbouring solution separated by a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

I<u>n terms of both sucrose and glucose concentrations, the solution in side A is higher than the solution in side B of the U-tube. Hence, side A is hypertonic to side B.</u>

A hypertonic solution is as opposed to a hypotonic solution with the latter having a lower concentration of solutes as compared to a neighbouring solution. Isotonic solutions have equal solute concentrations with their neighbouring solutions.

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion?
butalik [34]
<span>Correct answer: 
<span>Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high particle concentration to a low particle concentration.

</span></span><span>This movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.</span><span><span>
