Question

Based upon your knowledge of osmosis (movement of water across a semipermeable membrane) indicate

with arrows which direction the water will move using the solute concentrations in the image below.

Answer 1

Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. A selectively permiable membrane is one that allows unrestricted passage of water, but not solute molecules or ions.
