Question

Osmosis is taking place when water molecules move in all of the following situations except when

a). water moves into the cells of limp lettuce leaves that are soaked in a bowl of water

b).water moves out of a strawberry cells after sugar has been sprinkled on the berries

c).water moves to an area of lower concentration between sugar molecules in the bottom of a beaker

d).water moves between blood cells and blood plasma as a persons hydration level changes

Answer 1

d is the answer your looking for

Answer 2

c). water moves to an area of lower concentration between sugar molecules in the bottom of a beaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is a process which solvent such as water in most of the cases, moves from its higher concentration to its lower concentration when two concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane or differentially permeable membrane.

As a result of osmosis, the concentration on both sides of a membrane becomes equal. In the option c) of the question sugar molecules in the beaker is not separated by a semipermeable membrane thus osmosis will not occur.
