Q7. A SimCell with a water-permeable membrane that contains 20 hemoglobin molecules and 480 water molecules is placed in an extracellular fluid that contains 40 dextrose molecules and 960 water molecules. Which of the following should happen? More water molecules will flow from the SimCell into the extracellular fluid than from the extracellular fluid into the SimCell. More water molecules will flow from the extracellular fluid into the SimCell than from the SimCell into the extracellular fluid. There will be no movement of water molecules across the membrane. Water molecules will move back and forth equally across the membrane.
