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, the water will:______________.

Answer :

Answer:

Water will move from side A to side B.

Explanation:

On side A

The concentration of sugar molecules in water = 5%

Molecules of water on side A = 100% - 5% = 95%

On side B

The concentration of sugar molecules in water = 15%

Molecules of water on side B = 100% - 15% = 85%

As percentage of sugar molecules on side A is lower than the percentage of sugar molecules on side B. So, water molecule will move from lower concentration side to higher concentration side via osmosis process that water will move from side A to side B.
