A scientist performs an experiment in which they create an artificial cell with a selectively permeable membrane through which only water can pass.They inject a 5M solution of glucose into the cell and then place the cell into a beaker of water.After an hour,what effect do you expect to observe?
A)Water moves out of the cell
B)Glucose moves out of the cell
C)No net change in cell weight
D)Water moves into the cell
E)Glucose moves into the cell

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since water is the only substance that can pass through the selectively permeable membrane, water will move from the area of higher concentration in the beaker into the cell with the 5M solution of glucose. This will cause the cell to gain weight as water moves into it. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
