What direction is the sugar molecule (the blue hexagon) going to diffuse? a. Into the cytoplasm b. Into the extracellular fluid (i.e. the fluid outside the cell) c. The same number of sugar molecules will move into the cytoplasm and the extracellular fluid. d. No diffusion will occur - the membrane prevents all molecules from entering or exiting a cell.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
