Questions and Answers

What is osmosis?

  • The movement of water molecules from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution
  • The movement of solute molecules from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution
  • The movement of water molecules from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution (correct)
  • The movement of solute molecules from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution
