Question

A small plastic bag is filled with a sucrose solution, sealed and placed in a beaker of distilled water. The plastic is permeable to water, but not to sucrose molecules. Using diagrams, label and explain whether the bag is in a hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic solution and using arrows, show the net movement of water and explain what the end result will be. Answer
