Water Molecules Osmosis Pass Ways Membrane Osmosis Due

Front What happens for the water molecules during osmosis?
Back
  • Water molecules pass both ways through the membrane during osmosis due to them moving randomly all the time
  • Because there are more water molecules on one side than on the other, there's a steady net flow of water into the region with fewer water molecules
  • This means the strong solution gets more dilute
