The diagram shows a bag (with permeability characteristics similar to that of a normal cell) that contains a 100 mM solution of urea at time zero. The bag is placed in a beaker containing 100 mM glucose. Which of the following best describes the tonicity and osmolarity of the glucose solution as well as any changes in bag volume (assume that the bag volume is infinitely small compared to beaker volume)? $\begin{array}{lll}\underline{\text {Osmolarity}}&
\underline{\text {Tonicity}}&
\underline{\text {Bag volume}}\
\text { A.\quad Hyperosmotic } & \text { Hypertonic } & \text { Decreases } \
\text { B. \quad Hyperosmotic } & \text { Hypotonic } & \text { Increases } \
\text { C.\quad Hyperosmotic } & \text { Isotonic } & \text { No change } \
