Imagine two rigid chambers separated by a rigid membrane that is freely permeable to water but impermeable to glucose.Side 1 contains a 10 percent glucose solution and side 2 contains pure water.At equilibrium,what will be the situation?
A)Water will continue to move from side 1 to side 2.
B)Water will continue to move from side 2 to side 1.
C)The hydrostatic pressure will be higher in side 1.
D)The hydrostatic pressure will be higher in side 2.
E)no way to tell what the situation will be
