Question

6. Study the beaker and its content in the diagram below. in what direction 2 points

most of the water would flow into the "sac" or out of the "sac". Explain
why and name the type of solution being illustrated.

Answer 1

The correct answer is -

1. into the sac

2. in beaker hypotonic, in sac hypertonic

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is the diffusion of the solvent of a solution to the higher solute concentration through the semipermeable membrane. This membrane allows the water or solvent movement from the low solute concentration to high solute concentration and makes the cell or the sac bloated or turgid.

In this case, 2% slat concentration is dissolved in water which has low solute concentration in comparison of the sac which has 10% solute concentration so the outside the sac hypotonic solution present which allows the solvent to move from outside into the sac.
