Which way does water flow in osmosis?

Question

Flows from hypotonic to hypertonic.

Flows from hypertonic to hypotonic.

Flows between isotonic solutions.

Flows from hypertonic to isotonic.

Answer 1

In osmosis, water flows from a hypotonic solution (where the concentration of solutes is lower) to a hypertonic solution (where the concentration of solutes is higher). Therefore, the correct answer is:

Flows from hypotonic to hypertonic.
