Chapter 8, Problem 2IA.3Q

Summary Introduction

To determine:

In which glass did the water in the solution move into the food cells.

Introduction:

Cell membrane is semi permeable membrane, it allows some molecules to pass through the membrane, and water can spontaneously flow through the cell membrane in a direction that will equalize the concentrations inside and outside the cell.

When the concentration of the cells inside and outside is different, so water will travel around to the cell membrane to equalize the concentration, movement of water from high concentration to low concentration this process is called diffusion.
