An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclosed by a selectively permeable membrane is immersed in a beaker containing a different solution. The membrane is permeable to water and to the simple sugars glucose and fructose but impermeable to the disaccharide sucrose. Draw solid arrows to indicate the net movement of solutes (glucose and fructose) into or out of the cell. b. Is the solution outside the cell isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic to the cell? c. Draw a dashed arrow to show the net movement of water, if any d. Will the artificial cell shrivel, swell, or stay the same?

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.
