Question

Osmosis is taking place when water molecules move in all of the following situations except when

Answer 1

Answer:

c). water moves to an area of lower concentration between sugar molecules in the bottom of a beaker.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a process which solvent such as water in most of the cases, moves from its higher concentration to its lower concentration when two concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane or differentially permeable membrane.

As a result of osmosis, the concentration on both sides of a membrane becomes equal. In the option c) of the question sugar molecules in the beaker is not separated by a semipermeable membrane thus osmosis will not occur.
