1 Answer

Through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.

Explanation:

  1. Osmosis is a spontaneous movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from lower to a region of higher solute concentration.
  2. Osmosis tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

Here is a video which describes how osmosis impacts onion cells placed into tap water and then into a salt water solution.
