Question

the model below represents a cell membrane. notice the selectively permeable membrane indicated by the red dashed line. the solutions are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. what will most likely happen as osmosis occurs? the water level on side a will increase, but remain the same on side b. the number of molecules on side a will increase but decrease on side b. the water level will increase on side b and decrease on side a until concentrations are equalized. the water level and number of particles will equalize on both sides of the membrane.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high - water concentration to an area of low - water concentration across a selectively permeable membrane. In the given model, side B has more solute particles and less water relative to side A. So, water will move from side A to side B. This will cause the water level to increase on side B and decrease on side A until the concentrations are equalized.

Answer:

The water level will increase on side B and decrease on Side A until concentrations are equalized.
