Membrane Physiology Homework 1. You have a beaker filled with a solution containing 2M glucose, 4M urea and IM salt. Suspended in the solution is a cell that containing a solution of IM glucose, 8M urca and 3M salt. The membrane of the cell is permeable to glucose and salt but not urea. Answer each of the following questions: a. Where will water move? b. Where will urea move? c. Where will glucose move? d. Where will salt move? e. What will happen to the volume of fluid inside the cell? f. What will happen to the osmolarity of the fluid inside the cell?
