Vedclass · Answer

(A) Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration (which is equivalent to a region of lower solvent concentration).Therefore,the solvent moves from a region of higher solvent concentration (hypotonic solution) to a region of lower solvent concentration (hypertonic solution) to equalize the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
