Answer 1

Answer:

Where is diagram........

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

• Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a more dilute solution (with a lower solute concentration) to a less dilute solution (with a higher solute concentration).
• Most water molecules move from x to y decreasing the concentration gradient of sucrose. The solution will always move down the concentration gradient.
• This means the water always moves from this is more water to where there is less water.
• Therefore, water will move from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution.
