Question 1 Report
The diagram shows the bag of sugar solution in the beaker of water. A bag of sugar solution is placed in a beaker of water. After 30 minutes the bag has increased in size. The best explanation is that...
The tubing contents (sugar solution) have a lower water potential than the surrounding water, so water moves into the bag by osmosis across the partially permeable membrane, increasing its volume. Sugar molecules are too large to cross and stay inside, so the water does not become more concentrated and sugar does not leave; air entering is not involved.
