Question

in osmosis, if a membrane separates two solutions, liquid will tend to move from the side with the stronger solution to the side with the weaker solution. a tea bag is placed inside a cup of hot water. which best describes the process of osmosis in this situation? osmosis does not occur because the hot water is the only solution. the water, having a stronger concentration, moves inside the tea bag. the water near the tea leaves, having a stronger concentration of tea, moves outside the tea bag. the tea leaves, having a weaker concentration, release their juices into the water.

Explanation:

In osmosis, liquid moves from higher - concentration to lower - concentration. The hot water outside the tea bag has a higher water - molecule concentration compared to the inside of the tea bag which has tea leaves and less water relative to the outside. So water moves into the tea bag.

Answer:

The water, having a stronger concentration, moves inside the tea bag.
