Description
- A cell containing a 3% sucrose solution is placed into a beaker containing a 7% sucrose solution. Assume the cell’s membrane is permeable to water, but not permeable to the sucrose. Where will the water diffuse? Explain.

1. A cell containing a 3% sucrose solution is placed into a beaker containing a 7% sucrose
solution. Assume the cell’s membrane is permeable to water, but not permeable to the
sucrose. Where will the water diffuse? Explain.
Diffusion can be referred to as the process of movement of molecules from a highly concentrated
region to a lowly concentrated region. It does not involve transportation of solid particles.
Osmosis on the other hand is the process through which water molecules are transported across a
partially permeable membrane fro...
