Take a look at the picture below and determine which way the water will
move. Explain why.

Taking into account the picture, the water will move from where there is less concentration of sugar to the side with more concentration of sugar

Explanation:

The water moves from the space with less concentration of sugar to the one with more concentration, due to osmosis.

When a solution with different solute concentration is in two spaces separated by a semi-permeable membrane, the solvent - usually water - will move from the place with the lowest concentration to the one with the highest concentration, until the solutes concentrations are equal.

The phenomenon of osmosis involves the passage of water from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution of the same solute through a semi-permeable membrane. The movement of water from one space to another is determined by a force, dependent on the difference in solute concentrations, known as the osmotic concentration gradient.

Once the solutions reach equilibrium, the concentration difference no longer exists and the gradient disappears.
