If a 10% sucrose solution is separated from a 20% sucrose solution by a membrane impermeable to sucrose, in which direction will net movement of water occur?
A) from the 10% sucrose solution to the 20% sucrose solution only
B) from the 20% sucrose solution to the 10% sucrose solution only
C) from the 10% sucrose solution to the 20% sucrose solution and from the 20% sucrose solution to the 10% sucrose solution
D) There will be no net movement of water in this case.
E) None of the answers are correct.

Water moves from a lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration through osmosis, so it will move from the 10% sucrose solution (lower concentration) to the 20% sucrose solution (higher concentration).
