Question
osmosis across a cell membrane can be modeled using a u - shaped tube. this diagram of a u - shaped tube shows two solutions immediately after they were poured into the tube. the solutions were made by dissolving different amounts of the same solute in water. complete the sentence. the solution on the left side of the membrane has a __ concentration of solute and a __ concentration of water than the solution on the right side of the membrane. lower...lower higher...higher lower...higher higher...lower
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration). In the diagram, the left side of the membrane has fewer solute molecules and more water molecules compared to the right side. So, it has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration.
