E)lower osmotic pressure and higher water concentration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis refers to the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, or from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Therefore, if osmosis is occurring, then there would be a net movement of water to an area of higher solute concentration (choice C).
