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.

- Where does this process occur in plants and animals?
