Solution
Water concentration in beaker is 100% while in the sugar solution it is less than this, and, therefore, the water from the region of higher concentration moves towards the region of lower concentration. The movement is through a semipermeable membrane and so the experiment shows the phenomenon of osmosis.
Thus because of Osmosis the level changes
Thus because of Osmosis the level changes

The given figure shows demonstration of osmosis. A thistle funnel is filled with sucrose solution and kept inverted in a beaker containing water. In case sucrose diffuses out through the membrane, will this equilibrium be ever reached? Join BYJU'S Learning Program
