QUESTION:
Indicate the compartment 1A or B2 that will increase in volume for each of the following pairs of solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane: A B a. 5% 1m>v2 sucrose 10% 1m>v2 sucrose b. 8% 1m>v2 albumin 4% 1m>v2 albumin c. 0.1% 1m>v2 starch 10% 1m>v2 starch
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Osmosis is the net movement of solvent from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, with the concentration being separated by a semipermeable membrane.
The compartment with the high solute concentration gets more inflow of water through the semipermeable membrane to equalize the solute concentration on both sides due to which its concentration decreases to maintain the equilibrium and its volume rises.
