Assume That Two Chambers of Water Are Separated by a Permeable

Question 18

Multiple Choice

Assume that two chambers of water are separated by a permeable membrane.The two chambers are under identical conditions, except that on one side of the membrane there is pure water, and on the other side there is a sucrose solution (i.e., sucrose dissolved in water) .From measurements you determine that the side with the solution has a solute potential ( Ψ\Psi s) of -2.3 MPa.Which of the following is also likely to be true?


A) There will be no net movement of water.
B) For the side with the sucrose solution, Ψ\Psi p = 2.3 MPa.
C) For the side with the sucrose solution, Ψ\Psi total = -2.3 MPa.
D) For the side with the pure water, Ψ\Psi p = -2.3 MPa.
E) For the side with the pure water Ψ\Psi s = -2.3 MPa.
