Question
7b. in what direction will the water move? (note: the cell membrane is not permeable to sucrose)
water will move into the cell
water will move out of the cell
there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cell
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Here, the cell has a lower solute concentration (0.1 M sucrose) compared to the surrounding solution (0.5 M sucrose). So, water will move out of the cell to try to balance the solute concentrations.
