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.

Step 1: Answer
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?
There will be overall diffusion of urea from chamber X to chamber Y until the urea concentration is equal in both chambers.
