How do water molecules move during osmosis?
A
From a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration
B
From a region of higher solute concentration to a region of lower solute concentration
C
From a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure
D
From a region of lower temperature to a region of higher temperature
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
Identify the driving force of osmosis: Water moves to balance solute concentrations on either side of the membrane.
Recognize the direction of water movement: Water moves from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.
Consider the role of pressure and temperature: Osmosis is primarily driven by concentration gradients, not pressure or temperature differences.
Apply this understanding to the options given: Select the option that correctly describes the movement of water molecules during osmosis.
