question 5 1 pts how do the water molecules move in the case of osmosis?
○ they move from areas where there are a higher concentration of solutes to an area where there is a lower concentration of solutes.
● they move from areas where there are a lower concentration of solutes to an area where there is a higher concentration of solutes.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. Water moves to balance solute concentrations: lower solute concentration means higher water concentration. So water moves from low - solute (high - water) to high - solute (low - water) areas. The second option matches this.
