Through the semipermeable membrane shown, water moves from Side A to Side B. This is because:
- A
Water always moves to the hot side
- B
Solute crosses from B to A and water follows actively
- C
Side B has a lower water concentration, so it pulls water by gravity
- Dcheck_circle
Side A has a higher water (lower solute) potential, so water flows down its potential to Side B
Explanation
Water moves down its own potential gradient toward the more concentrated solute side (B), where water potential is more negative.
