Strawberry jelly is a very strong solution of sugar. By contrast the cytoplasm in bacteria is a much weaker solution. The cell wall of bacteria is made up of a PARTIALLY permeable membrane. Would water flow from the microbe to the jam, or from the jam to the microbe by osmosis? Explain​

Since the concentration of the jelly is higher than the concentration of the bacterial cytoplasm, water would flow from the microbe to the jam by osmosis.

What is Osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

The strawberry jelly is a stronger solution than the bacterial cytoplasm.

Therefore,  water would flow from the microbe to the jam by osmosis.
