Solution A contains 5 molecules of albumin (protein) and solution B contains 12 molecules of glucose. The solutions are separated by a membrane. What way will water move? A. water will move from solution B to solution A because albumin is larger in size B. ]water will move from solution B to solution A because albumin is in lower concentration C. water will move from solution A to solution B because glucose is in higher concentrations D. water will move from solution A to solution B because glucose is smaller in size

Answer:

C. Water will move from solution A to solution B because glucose is in higher concentration.

Explanation:

In osmosis, the molecules of solvent will pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution.

Solution B is more concentrated, so the water will move from A to B.

A and D are wrong, because the size of the solute particles does not control the direction of osmosis.

B is wrong because water moves to the more concentrated solution.
