If glucose has been actively transported by the intestine through normal glucose transport then glucose concentration in the serosal solution should decrease glucose is transported from the serosal side to the mucosal side glucose concentration in the mucosal solution should increase glucose is transported from the mucosal side to serosal side

Suppose the concentration of glucose inside a cell is 0.5 mM and the cell is suspended in a glucose solution of 0.09 mM. Part A What would be the free energy change, in kJ/mol, for the transport of glucose from the medium into the cell? Assume T=37∘C. Part B? What would be the free energy change, in kJ/mol, for the transport of glucose from the medium into the cell if the intracellular and extracellular concentrations were 9 mM and 10 mM, respectively?

The solutions in the arms of a U-tube are separated at the bottom of the tube by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to sodium chloride but not to glucose. Side A is filled with a solution of 0.4 M glucose and 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl), and side B is filled with a solution containing 0.8 M glucose and 0.4 M sodium chloride. Initially, the volume in both arms is the same. A. A decrease in the concentration of NaCl and glucose and an increase in the water level. B. A decrease in the concentration of NaCl, an increase in water level, and no change in the concentration of glucose. C. No net change in the system. D. A decrease in the concentration of NaCl and a decrease in the water level. E. No change in the concentration of NaCl and glucose and an increase in the water level.
