The osmosis has higher concentration than the water ( solution ) so the low concentration goes towards the high concentration

* when they are equal it doesn’t move so then in this position we call that equilibrium

* the line that you see in the middle is call selective permeable membrane ( no solute could go in only the solution )

Solute - sugar or salt
Solution - water molecules

Answer:

Osmosis causes water to move toward the stronger concentration

Step-by-step explanation:

In this system, there is a semipermeable membrane. Since the particles of solute (the black dots) are only on the left side, this means water can move across the membrane, but the solute can't. So, the water moves to dilute the stronger concentration because of osmosis (i.e. moving from high water concentration/low solute concentration to low water concentration/high solute concentration). The water would keep moving until the concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal.
