Which Best describes how water moves during osmosis? From low salute concentration to high salute concentration

Complete question: Which Best describes how water moves during osmosis?

A. From passive transport regions to active transport regions

B. From active transport regions to passive transport regions

C. From high solute concentration to low solute concentration

D. From low solute concentration to high solute concentration

The correct option is D(From low solute concentration to high solute concentration)

Explanation:

Osmosis can be defined as the thermal movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane.

A selectively (differentially) permeable membrane will only allow certain molecules to pass through it. Water molecules can pass through a selectively permeable membrane easily but solutes(for example, sugar molecules) cannot.

Using sugar solution to explain further, the following occurs when equal volume of a weak( low solute concentration) and a strong sugar solution( high solute concentration) are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. A diffusion gradient exists between the water molecules in the two solutions. As a result, water molecules move from the low solute concentration to high solute concentration through the membrane. This water movement continues untill there is equal concentration of sugar on the both sides of the membrane.

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

ex. when its cold outside i wear a jacket

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom
