Answer:
Water will flow from microbe to the Jam.
Explanation:
Osmosis is defined as the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration of the solution across a semi-permeable membrane. In osmosis water moves from low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute.
In the given experiment, cell wall of bacteria acts as a semi-permeable membrane and sugar in jam and cytoplasm in bacteria act as solutes. Sugar in jam is strong solution means has high concentration of solute and cytoplasm in bacteria has low concentration of solute, which drives the movement of water from bacteria to the jam.
Hence, the correct answer is "Water will flow from microbe to the Jam."
