Two glucose solutions of different concentrations are separated by a membrane. both the solvent (water) and the solute (glucose) can travel across this membrane. predict what will occur

Respuesta :

i think the water will pass through the membrane to glucose as there is water potential difference.

The process of osmosis will occur which depends on the concentration gradient.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.

if the solution in the first glucose solution contains higher solutes, there will be net movement of solvent molecules from the second sugar solution to the first sugar solution until equilibrium is reached.

Also if the first glucose solution contains lower solutes, there will be net movement of solvent molecules from this first glucose solution to the second glucose solution until equilibrium is reached.

Therefore, there are two types of osmosis (endosmosis and exosmosis) taking place in between the two glucose solutions.
