Study the given figure carefully. In which direction the net movement of water will take place?

Options

A. From solution 1 to solution 2
B. From solution 2 to solution 1
C. Both (A) and (B)
D. No movement will take place

Answer

A

Explanation

The movement of water from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. Since, concentration of water is high in solution 1, therefore, water will move from solution 1 to solution 2 by the process of osmosis.
