Selectively permeable membrane Column A contains 1 Osm solution of glucose and the column B contains 2 Osm solution of NaCI. If the membrane between the 2 columns is permeable to water and glucose but not permeable to NaCI which way would net osmosis occur toward column A or B? Explain your answer.

Column A contains 1 Osm solution of glucose and the column B contains 2 Osm solution of NaCl. If the membrane between the 2 columns is permeable to water and
glucose but not permeable to NaCl which way would net osmosis occur toward column A or B? Explain your answer.
Expert Solution
Step 1
The osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from lower concentration area or high water potential area into the high concentration area or low water potential area through a semipermeable membrane.
The solutes can't be crossed through the semipermeable membrane.
