Question
look at the diagrams below. notice the cell is in a solution that is 97% water. the cell is 99% water inside. which diagram shows the direction of water movement across the cells selectively permeable membrane? which direction would the water move across the cells selectively permeable membrane? out of the cell into the cell equally in and out of the cell
Step1: Understand osmosis principle
Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high - water concentration to an area of low - water concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.
Step2: Compare water concentrations
The cell has 99% water and the surrounding solution has 97% water. So, the water concentration is higher inside the cell.
Step3: Determine water movement direction
Water will move from the area of higher water concentration (inside the cell) to the area of lower water concentration (outside the cell).
