Question

4. The diagram below represents a cell in water. Explain why more water is moving out of the

Answer 1

Answer:

One cell has a higher concentration of solutes, and a lower concentration of water thus the water moves down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Water in cells readily diffuse across the selectively permeable membrane, or move via osmosis. Here, the water molecules and solutes attempt to maintain equilibrium or balance.

Thus, water moves along its concentration gradient to regions of low water concentration and high solute concentration continuously.
