What happens when two different concentrations of sugar solutions are placed on opposite sides of a selectively permeable membrane in a container?

In this situation, osmosis will occur. This means that there will be a net (average) movement of water particles from the solution with the lowest concentration to the solution with the highest concentration. Remember that although the net movement is in this direction, the water particles move about randomly so some will also go in the other direction. Eventually, The concentrations will equal each other and there will be no net movement.
Hope this helps.

Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
What is selectively perimeable?
selectively permeable means that the substance which is selectively permeable allows only selected materials to pass through it.
What takes materials in and out of a cell?
The plasma member is a selectively permeable membrane which allows the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell through the process of diffusion.
What makes up a selectively permeable membrane?
Plasma membrane filters what the cell needs and keeps out what will harm it. this property is called selective permeability.
What is the biological function of the fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane?
1. Protein Anchor 2. Selectively Permeable Barrier 3. Energy Production
What makes the cell membrane selective permeable?
A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows particles to move across them due to different concentrations. Molecules move from areas of low concentration to high concentration.
Cells have selectively what?
Selectively permeable.
Cells have selectively what membranes?
Selectively permeable.
What is definition of selectively permeable?
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
What is a selectively permeable memberane?
A selectively permeable membrane means that it lets some molecules through but others can't get in.
Does selectively permeable and semi permeable mean the same thing?
nope
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
What is the basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
Is the cell membrane selectively permeable?
There are different types of plastics and most of them are nor permeable or selectively permeable .Cellophane is a specific plastic used in biological experiments as it is selectively permeable .
