Question

the graphic shows two areas separated by a semipermeable membrane. explain what is happening.

Explanation:

The image shows a semi - permeable membrane separating two areas with different solute and water concentrations. Osmosis is occurring. Water will move from the area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to the area of low water concentration (high solute concentration) across the semi - permeable membrane to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides.

Answer:

Water is moving by osmosis from the side with high water concentration (low solute concentration) to the side with low water concentration (high solute concentration) across the semi - permeable membrane to balance the solute concentrations.
