During osmosis, the flow of water through a semi-permeable membrane is:

1. From a solution having higher concentration only. 
2. From both sides of the semi-permeable membrane with equal flow rates.
3. From both sides of the semi-permeable membrane with unequal flow rates.
4. From a solution having lower concentration only.
