Question

An investigation was set up to study the movement of water through a membrane. The results are shown in the diagram below. Based on these results, which statement correctly predicts what will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is much higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B/2 is correct

Explanation:

Please see the attachment

Answer 2

Osmosis is a chemical process in which the molecules of water move from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration.

Movement of Salt Concentration in Beaker

• The given image shows the salt concentration in the beaker consisting of the red blood cells having a high concentration in solution than the salt concentration within the red blood cells.

• The water concentration is higher in the red blood cells, which implies that the water concentration is lower in the beaker.

Thus, the water moves from the high concentration to the regions of the lower concentration, following the osmosis.
