If the concentration of sugar molecules in water on side "A" of a selectively permeable membrane is 5 percent,and the concentration of sugar molecules in water on side "B" of a selectively permeable membrane is 15 percent,which way will the water move and why?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water moves from an area of low concentration of solute molecules (in this case, sugar) to an area of high concentration of solute molecules. Therefore, the water will move from side "A" (with a lower concentration of sugar) to side "B" (with a higher concentration of sugar). This movement will continue until the concentrations of sugar molecules reach equilibrium on both sides of the membrane.
