What among the following describes osmosis 1. The diffusion of water from an area low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. 2. Osmotic pressure is the force that allows water to move by osmosis through a selectively permeable membrane 3. When a cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, water enters the cell by osmosis which causes it to swell and eventually burst. 4.

In an investigation of osmosis, apple cores were submerged in different molarity solutions to determine the unknown osmolarity of the apple. To determine the molarity five uniform apple cores were massed before submerging them in different molarity solutions. After 24 hours the apple cores were massed again. Then the percent change in mass was determined for the five uniform apple cores in each molarity solution. Molarity of Solution Average % Change of Mass of Apple Cores 0.0 M 21.5 0.2 M 8.0 0.4 M -7.4 0.6 M -19.2 0.8 M -22.7 1.0 M -36.3 (b) Identify the osmolarity of the apple. (c) Describe the environmental conditions taking place in each of the six solutions with the apples.
