Which statement best fits the following diagram? The purplish dots are sugar molecules and the blue areas are water molecules. On the left side the water molecwles have a concentration of 99.1% and on the right side the water molecules have concentration of 99.9%. 1) The level of fluid on the left will rise because water will move by osmosis through the membrane. 2) The level of the fluid on the left will fall as water moves to the right by osmosis. 3) The level of the water on the left will rise as a result of sugar molecules diffusing through the membrane. 4) The level of the water on the left will fall as sugar molecules diffuse through the membrane.

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.
