Question

Suppose you have two glucose solutions separated by a differentially permeable membrane. A concentration gradient of glucose across a membrane means (assuming there are no other solutes in the solution)

there are more glucose molecules per unit volume on one side of the membrane than the other.

the solutions are isotonic.

one solution is hypertonic.

one solution has a lower concentration of water molecules.

A, C, and D are correct.

A.

there are more glucose molecules per unit volume on one side of the membrane than the other.

B.

the solutions are isotonic.

C.

one solution is hypertonic.

D.

one solution has a lower concentration of water molecules.

E.

A, C, and D are correct.

Explanation / Answer

E. A,C and D are correct.

Concentration gradient mean there are more molecules per unit volume on one side of the membrane than the other.

One solution is hypertonic (one with more glucose molecules).

One sol. has a lower conc. of water molecules (hypotonic).
