Osmosis Practice Activity

Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Only water moves in osmosis! The diagrams below show the concentration of water and salt inside
the cell and the concentration of water and salt surrounding the cell. Complete the sentences below
by comparing the concentration of the water inside the cell and the concentration outside the cell.

burst, stay the same).
