Question
Consider two aqueous glucose solutions of different concentrations, separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Which of the following best describes the process of osmosis at the molecular level?
The smaller water molecules move in a net direction from the more dilute side to the more concentrated side.
The smaller water molecules move in a net direction from the more concentrated side to the more dilute side.
The larger glucose particles move in a net direction from the more dilute side to the more concentrated side.
The larger glucose particles move in a net direction from the more concentrated side to the more dilute side.
Osmosis will not occur.

The larger glucose particles move in a net direction from the more concentrated side to the more dilute side.
Osmosis will not occur.
Explanation / Answer
concentration goes from high concentration to low concnetration
Note that this is permeable so water level remains the same
the only thing that can migrate are glucose particles
therefore
high concnetration glucose goes to low concnetation glucose
choose
The larger glucose particles move in a net direction from the more concentrated side to the more dilute side.
The larger glucose particles move in a net direction from the more concentrated side to the more dilute side.
