Question

study the illustration. the small blue spheres represent water molecules. in which direction will water molecules move across the membrane? water will move from b to a. water will move from a to b. there will be no net movement of water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water - potential (more water molecules per unit volume) to an area of low water - potential. In the illustration, there are more water molecules in area A than in area B. So, water will move from A to B.

Answer:

Water will move from A to B
