Imagine two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane that is impermeable to glucose.On one side of the membrane,solution A contains 10 percent glucose and on the other side,solution B contains 25 percent glucose.Which of the following is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water will move from the side with low solute concentration (solution A) to the side with high solute concentration (solution B) in an attempt to reach equilibrium. Because the membrane is impermeable to glucose, glucose cannot diffuse from solution B to solution A, making option D incorrect. Since solution A has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration, it is hypotonic relative to solution B, making option A incorrect. The concentration of water is not given, so option B is incorrect.
