-Figure 6.3 shows three containers of water connected by tubes. A selectively permeable membrane divides each tube. Solutes are added to each container to give final concentrations of 5% NaCl in a; 10% NaCl in b; and 5% sucrose in c. When the experiment is first set up, the initial movement of water will be

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water will move from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration. Initially, water will move from a (5% NaCl) to b (10% NaCl), from c (5% sucrose) to b (10% NaCl), and from c (5% sucrose) to a (5% NaCl) due to the osmotic gradient.
