Answer
Dialysis Bag: Hypotonic; Direction of Water movement: out of the tubing; Beaker: Hypertonic.
Explanation
## Step 1The terms "hypotonic", "hypertonic", and "isotonic" are used to describe relative concentrations of solutions. In this situation, the student has a dialysis bag with a lower solute concentration (hypotonic) compared to the externally placed beaker. ### **Hypotonic**: A solution where the concentration of solute is lower than that in another solution.### **Hypertonic**: A solution where the concentration of solute is higher than that in another solution.### **Isotonic**: A solution where the concentration of solute is equal to that in another solution.## Step 2Since the dialysis bag has a lower concentration than the beaker, for the beaker the term hypertonic applies because this solution has a higher solute concentration in relation to the dialysis bag.## Step 3As for the direction of water, it moves from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Thus, in this scenario, water will move from the dialysis bag to the beaker out of the tubing. This phenomenon showcases osmosis, ingrained in the bidirectional nature of water molecules, as they tend to subconsciously move through a permeable membrane like a dialysis tube from a hypotonic to a hypertonic solution, with the mission to reach an equilibrium or balance.
