Consider a hypothetical experiment in which the left beaker contains 4 mM NaCl, 9 mM glucose and 10 mM albumin. The right beaker contains 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM glucose and 40 mM albumin. The dialysis membrane is permeable to all substances except albumin. In which direction will glucose move?

Respuesta :

Answer:

to the left beaker

Explanation:

In the system above, we have two beakers containing different concentrations of glucose. In addition, the two beakers are separated by a permeable membrane which can allow the movement of glucose from one beaker to another. In order to attain equilibrium conditions, there will be a movement of glucose from the beaker with high glucose concentration (right beaker) to the beaker with low glucose concentration (left beaker).
