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 the same number as 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 X to Y until urea concentration is equal in both chambers. O There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration in X exceeds urea concentration in Y. O There will be overall diffusion of urea from Y to X until urea concentration is equal in both chambers. Urea will not diffuse across the membrane. O There will be overall diffusion of urea from X to Y until urea concentration in Y exceeds urea concentration in X.

Nutrient Growth Medium

It is a culture medium or nutrient broth for all kinds of microorganisms to grow properly and create their colony. This matrix provides support to increase the population of microbes through the method of cell proliferation. It is regarded as the food material for those organisms. It is a type of in vitro mechanism, in which the development of life is processed outside the host body. It can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid in nature. Different kinds of cells develop in different types of media.
