Question 11 of 11

11. Question

1 point(s)

The diagrams show the apparatus used during an investigation.

What explains the changes in levels?

Glucose molecules have diffused against the concentration gradient.
The membrane allows only water molecules to diffuse through it.
Water molecules diffuse through the membrane more rapidly than glucose molecules.
Water molecules have diffused both up and down the concentration gradient.
