In osmosis, the water moves from low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Put another way, the water would move from the side with a low amount of ions present to the one with a high amount to balance out the concentration of ions.

If the concentration of a solution is higher on one side of the membrane than the other, then the water moves across the membrane from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side to dilute it until the concentrations on either side are equal.

No, It moves from high concentrate to low concentrate

How does osomosis occur in the human body?
The reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules back into the blood depends on osmosis.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
Is Diffusion always from areas of greater to areas of lesser concentration?
During diffusion water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration, when it balances out it tends to stop.

Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward water as?
Cool, dense air moves during night from the land toward water as = the answer is LAND BREEZE
How do you get rid of sulfur water and it's smell?
water filter..... reverse osomosis system if you wanna go big... or any filter that sticks on your faucet or water pitcher if you wanna go small
Why does water move during osmosis?
diffusion of water. It moves because it wants to reach equilibrium (equal water on each side)
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What is the difference between osomosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration. Basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water specifically.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
Where will water move during osmosis?
Water moves through the membrane towards the side that has a higher dissolved solute concentration. Another way to look at it is that the water moves in the direction that results in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward the water as what?
land breeze =D
What moves water around the earth?
What moves water is the air
In what direction does water moves?
the cold water moves down.
What is the term that describes water-soaked soil when it turns into thick soupy liquid during an earthquake?
quicksand
