QUESTION 9 Two chambers, X and Y, are separated by a semi-permeable membrane that allows water and urea, but not glucose, to pass through. At the start, chamber X contains a solution of urea in wate and chamber Y contains a solution of glucose in water. The molarity (measure of concentration) of urea in chamber X is less than the molarity of glucose in chamber Y. Which of the following will occur after sufficient time? O There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration is equal in both chambers. There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration in X equals the glucose concentration in Y. There will be overall diffusion of urea from X to Y until urea concentration in Y equals the glucose concentration in X. O Urea will not diffuse across the membrane. O There will be overall diffusion of urea from X to Y until urea concentration is equal in both chambers.

QUESTION 9
Two chambers, X and Y, are separated by a semi-permeable membrane that allows water and urea, but not glucose, to pass through.
At the start, chamber X contains a solution of urea in wate and chamber Y contains a solution of glucose in water. The molarity (measure of concentration) of urea in
chamber X is less than the molarity of glucose in chamber Y.
Which of the following will occur after sufficient time?
There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration is equal in both chambers.
There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration in X equals the glucose concentration in Y.
There will be overall diffusion of urea from X to Y until urea concentration in Y equals the glucose concentration in X.
Urea will not diffuse across the membrane.
There will be ov
diffusion of urea from X to Y until urea concentration is equal in both chambers.
