Question

If two solutions with concentrations of 0.4 M sugar and 0.7 M sugar respectively are separated by a semipermeable membrane, during osmosis there is a net flow of Group of answer choices sugar molecules from the dilute to the concentrated solution sugar molecules from the concentrated to the dilute solution water molecules from the concentrated to the dilute solution water molecules from the dilute to the concentrated solution

Answer 1

Answer: Water molecules from the dilute to the concentrated solution

Explanation:

During Osmosis if a solution is separerated by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent (typically water) from the less concentrated solution in terms of solute goes through the semipermeable membrane to the solution with the higher concentration so that the concentrations between the solutions can be balanced.

With the above solutions therefore, water molecules would move from the solution of 0.4M of sugar to the solution with a 0.7M of sugar through the semipermeable membrane.
