Question

a semipermeable sac containing 4% NaCl, 9% glucose, and 10% albumin is suspended in a solution with the solution with the following compostion: 10% NaCl, 10 5 glucose, and 40% albumin. Assume that sac is permeable to all substance except albumin. state whether each of the following will (a) move into the sac, (b) move out of the sac or (c) not movea. glucose:b. water:c. albumin:d. nacl

Answer 1

Answer:

glucose: a; moves into sac

albumin: c; does not move

water: b; moves out of sac

NaCl: a; moves into sac

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semi permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration

Glucose and NaCl will move into the sac due to the solution in the sac having lower solute concentration.

Water molecules will move out of the sac toward the region with high solute concentration

Albumin will not move because the sac is not permeable to it.
