Question

During osmosis do water molecules move from hypotonic areas to hypertonic areas or the other way around. explain

Answer 1

It's hypertonic to hypotonic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypertonic is having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.

Hypotonic is having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.

Usually, water moves from higher concentration to lower concentration to reach an equalibrium. This means that the answer is Hypertonic to Hypotonic.

Answer 2

hypo to hyper.....

this is cuz, hypotonic means filled with water and during osomosis water moves from greater to less
