6. Dialysis bags containing a 0.5% sucrose solution are placed in beakers containing the sucrose solutions indicated below. Dialysis bags are NOT permeable to sucrose. A 0.5% sucrose 0.5% sucrose B 0.5% sucrose Pure water C 0.5% sucrose 1.5% sucrose Indicate the letter of the beaker (A, B, or C) in which the following events or situations occur. a. The dialysis bag remains the same size. ______ b. The dialysis bag shrinks. ______ c. Water moves from the beaker into the dialysis bag. ______ d. The solution inside the bag is hypertonic to its surroundings. ______ e. Water potential inside the bag is lower than water potential outside the bag. ______ f. The solution inside the bag is isotonic to the solution outside the bag. ______

Step 1
The dialysis bag remains the same size: This means that there is no net movement of water or solutes across the membrane. Therefore, the solution inside the bag is isotonic to its surroundings. The beaker is C. Show more…

1) Three dialysis bags containing 1.0% sucrose solution were placed in beakers with the contents indicated below. The dialysis tubing employed is not permeable to sucrose. (Draw a diagram to help you find the answers) A. Water B. 1.0% sucrose C. 10% sucrose Indicate the letter of the beaker in which the following events or situations occur: 1. The dialysis bag remains the same size. 2. The dialysis bag swells. 3. Water moves from the dialysis bag into the beaker. 4. The solution inside the bag is hypotonic to the solution outside the bag. 5. The solution inside the bag is isotonic to the solution outside the bag. 6. The solution inside the bag is hypertonic to the solution outside the bag.

In this experiment, the bag contains a hypertonic solution (sucrose), while the beaker only contains water. If you leave the bag inside the beaker for approximately 45 minutes, the movement of water will occur from the beaker to the bag.
