In an experiment, two sets of apparatus were set up as shown below:
In A there is a concentrated sugar solution inside the thistle funnel and red ink in the water outside the funnel. In B there is a concentrated glucose solution with red ink inside the thistle funnel and water outside the thistle funnel.
In both A and B the level of liquid inside the funnels rises up the tubes. In A the sugar solution turns red and in B, the water turns red.
Study the given observations and answer these questions:
- Name the process by which red ink moves in A and B.
