This is a Multiple Choice question / It is worth 1 point / You have 1 of 2 attempts remaining / There is no attempt penalty 02 Question (1 point) 2nd attempt Open Ebook section 12.1 In one experiment, investigators create a liposome - a vesicle made of phospholipids - that contains a solution of 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodium chloride. If this vesicle were placed in a beaker of distilled water, what would happen the fastest? Choose one: O A. NaCl would diffuse out. O B. Cl- would diffuse out. O C. Na+ would diffuse out. O D. H2O would diffuse in. O E. Glucose would diffuse out. See Hint 1st attempt

Step 1
A liposome contains 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodium chloride (NaCl). The liposome is placed in distilled water. Distilled water is essentially pure H2O, meaning it has a very low concentration of solutes. Show more…

Solution A (1.0 Osm Glucose) and solution B (1.0 Osm NaCl) are separated by a dialysis membrane. If the membrane is spontaneously permeable to Glucose, NaCl, and Water, what is the INITIAL reaction of Glucose, NaCl, and Water? Select one: a. Diffusion of glucose, NaCl, and water will not occur since the concentration in A and B is the same. b. Glucose will diffuse from A to B while NaCl and water will diffuse from B to A. c. Glucose will diffuse from A to B while NaCl diffuses from B to A; no diffusion of Water. d. Glucose and Water will diffuse from A to B while NaCl will diffuse from B to A. Identify the osmolarity and tonicity of the extracellular fluid, respectively based on the information given below. When the extracellular fluid is ______ after a red blood cell is added, water will diffuse outside of the cell causing the cell to crenate. The extracellular fluid will appear cloudy. The tonicity of the extracellular fluid is ______, respectively. Select one: a. Hyperosmotic, Hypertonic b. Isoosmotic, Isotonic c. Hypoosmotic, Hypotonic d. None of the above

In the lab, you use a special balloon that is permeable to water but not sucrose to make an "artificial cell." The balloon is filled with a solution of 20% sucrose and 80% water and is immersed in a beaker containing a solution of 40% sucrose and 60% water. Which of the following will occur? A. Water will enter the balloon. B. Water will leave the balloon. C. Sucrose will enter the balloon. D. Sucrose will leave the balloon. E. None of the choices will occur.

Alice reads another paper which seeks to elucidate the interaction of GLUT1, LAT1, and the movement of water. In the paper, the authors set up artificial cells that mimic the endothelial cells. Embedded in the artificial cell membrane is a deformed GLUT1 protein that does not work, a normal LAT1 protein, and aquaporins. The artificial cell is submerged in a beaker of water that contains 10 picomoles of phenylalanine. After several minutes, where will water move? a) Water will move out of the artificial cell. b) Most of the water will move out of the artificial cell. A little will move in. c) Water will move into the artificial cell. d) Most of the water will move into the artificial cell. A little will move out.
