Question

If the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell, which will happen by osmosis?

A. Sugar will move into the cell.
B. Sugar will move out of the cell.
C. Water will move into the cell.
D. Water will move out of the cell.

Answer 1

osmosis is a process by which the molecules of a solute spread out from a region with a high concentration of the solute to a region with a low concentration.

Knowing this, since the highest concentration of the sugar solution is inside the cell...

B. Sugar will move out of the cell
