When two solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a selectively permeable membrane, and osmosis is allowed to take place, the water will ______. exhibit a net movement to the side with lower water concentration exhibit a net movement to the side with higher water concentration exhibit a net movement to the side with lower solute concentration exhibit an equal movement in both directions across the membrane not cross the membrane

Respuesta :

Answer:

In osmosis, the water has a net movement to the side with lower water concentration.

Explanation:

It moves in the direction of a solution with higher solute ( therefore  lower water) concentration.

Answer:

Exhibit a net movement to the side with lower water concentration.

Explanation:

Hello,

Osmosis is a process by which the equilibrium between the concentration of a solute placed at two sides separated by a permeable membrane is reached by moving the solvent's molecules.

For the considered example, it is seen that the water will exhibit a net movement to the side with lower water concentration as long as the place with more water will have a higher solute's concentration which implies that the water move from such side to other one in order to equal both the solutions concentrations.

Best regards.
