Exercise 22

A solution of 1 M glucose is separated by a selectively permeable membrane from a solution of 0.2 M fructose and 0.7 M sucrose. The membrane is not permeable to any of the sugar molecules. Indicate which side of the membrane is initially hypertonic, which is hypotonic, and the direction of water movement.
