Question

A form of simple diffusion is Osmosis. In which direction will water flow in the process of Osmosis?
a- Water will flow away from the solutes, with the concentration gradient

b- Water will flow from low concentration to higher concentration

c- Water will flow with the solutes, against the concentration gradient

d- Water will flow towards the solutes (i.e. toward the higher salt concentration)

Answer 1

Answer:

Water will flow from low concentration to higher concentration.

Explanation:

Water will move in the direction where there is a high concentration of solute (and hence a lower concentration of water. Salt is a solute, when it is concentrated inside or outside the cell, it will draw the water in its direction.
