Multiple Choice

What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?

• A)Water molecules move from the hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution.
• B)Solute molecules move from the hypertonic solution to the hypotonic solution.
• C)Water molecules move from the hypertonic solution to the hypotonic solution.
• D)Solute molecules move from the hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution.
• E)No net movement of solvent or solute molecules occurs,because the osmotic pressure on both sides is equal.
