Question

Solution A contains 5 grams of sugar per liter while solution B contains 2 grams of sugar per liter. The solutions are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. If the solvent in both solutions is water, predict in which direction most of the water molecules will move.

A. move by simple diffusion from solution A to solution B
B. move by osmosis from solution B to solution A
C. move by active transport from solution B to solution A
D. move by filtration from solution A to solution B
E. There will be no movement of water.

Answer 1

Answer: B. move by osmosis from solution B to solution A

Explanation: SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Is a membrane that selectively permeats materials to pass through it,it selects materials and substances according their particle size,shape concentration etc.

Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent molecules from a region of lower concentration to another region of higher concentration through a semi permeable membrane.

Answer 2

B. move by osmosis from solution B to solution A

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that osmosis as a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
