The state of the balloon:
When the balloon is submerged in the beaker, the amount of water in the beaker will get reduced.
What is Osmosis:
Based on the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane, water will flow through a permeable membrane in a specific direction.
Hypertonic solution:
It means that there are more solutes present in the surrounding environment than in the cell itself.
Hypotonic solution:
In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than that outside the cell.
- When comparing two solutions, the one with the larger solute concentration is hypertonic, and the one with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic. Isotonic solutions have an identical solute concentration.
- While the solution in the beaker is hypertonic, Meaning that will draw water molecules out of the cell. As water molecules move from a location of high water potential (dilute solution) to a region of reduced water potential (10% glucose solution), the water from the 5% glucose solution will flow into the 10% one (concentrated solution)
- This is the reason why the amount of water decreases when the balloon is submerged in the beaker.
