0.3 M Glycerin, 0.3 Urea are both 0.3, but thei effect on RBCs is very different than 0.3 M Glucose. Glycerin = glycerol, which is a non-polar molecule. Urea is a small molecule which passes though membrane easily by facilitated diffusion. Predict the fate of a red blood cell placed in 0.3 M glycerin and in a 0.3 M Urea. Explain why these changes might take place.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
