Question

two solutions are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. if solution a has a higher concentration of a nonpermeating solute than solution b, then multiple choice the solute will pass down its concentration gradient from solution b to a water will pass down its concentration gradient from solution b to a neither the solute nor water will diffuse water will pass down its concentration gradient from solution a to b the solute will pass down its concentration gradient from solution a to b

Explanation:

The solute is non - permeating, so only water can diffuse across the selectively permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration, solution B) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration, solution A) following its concentration gradient.

Answer:

water will pass down its concentration gradient from solution B to A
