Question

Scientist performs an experiment in which they create an artificial cell with a permeable membrane that only beaker of water. After an hour, what do you expect to observe? can pass through The M o o n into the Water moves out of the cell Glucose moves into the cell Water moves into the cell Glucose moves out of the cell No change

Answer 1

This is basically a case of osmosis. Now in osmosis the movement of sovent takes place, in this case water. The movement of solvent takes place from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration so that solute concentrations are equalized. Here glucose is the solute.

The concentration of the solute (glucose) inside the cell is 5M whereas outside the cell in the beaker it is almost 0. Thus water will move from outside to the inside of the cell and tend to equalize the glucose concentration.

Correct option will be:

Water moves into the cell
