Question
water moves via osmosis _______________. from an area with a high concentration of other solutes to a lower one from an area with a low concentration of water to higher concentration from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration question 9 1.75 pts which characteristic of a phospholipid contributes to the fluidity of the membrane? a saturated fatty acid tail cholesterol content double bonds in the fatty acid tail the head
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration). For the second question, double bonds in the fatty acid tails of phospholipids introduce kinks, preventing the phospholipids from packing tightly together and thus contributing to membrane fluidity.
