Dialysis tubing is a selectively permeable membrane that can be filled with a solution to simulate a cell.A piece of dialysis tubing has been filled with a cloudy white solution of 5 percent starch,5 percent egg albumin (protein) ,and 5 percent glucose (a small sugar) dissolved in water to simulate a cell.This simulated cell is weighed and then placed in a beaker of water.After soaking in the water for one hour,the simulated cell is once again weighed. Over time,the weight of the simulated cell can be expected to
A) decrease because it is hypotonic to the beaker environment and water will enter the simulated cell through osmosis.
B) decrease because it is hypertonic to the beaker environment and water will leave the simulated cell through osmosis.
C) increase because the solution in the beaker is hypotonic to the simulated cell and water will enter the simulated cell through osmosis.
D) remain constant because it is isotonic to the beaker environment and water will be drawn into the simulated cell because of the albumin.
