Answer:
Glucose: (a) moves into sac
Water: (b) moves out of sac
Albumin: (c) does not move
NaCl: (a) moves into sac
Explanation:
A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane that allow certain molecules or ions to pass through by diffusion.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until equilibrium is attained. A special form of diffusion known as osmosis transports water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region lower solute concentration (high water molecules concentration) to a region of higher solute concentration (low water molecules concentration) until equilibrium is attained.
From the above definitions and the given data;
Glucose concentration is higher in solution outside the sac, thus, glucose molecules will move into the sac.
Water molecules are higher in the sac as a result of the lower concentration of solutes, therefore, water molecules will move out of the sac into the solution outside.
Since the sac is impermeable to albumin, it does not move.
NaCl concentration is lower in the sac, therefore, it will move ro the solution outside into the sac.
Glucose will move into the sac, water will move out of the sac, albumin will neither move in nor out, and NaCl will move into the sac.
- The molecules of each of the substances will move by diffusion from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration of each substance as long as there is a permeable membrane.
- Water, on the other hand, will move by osmosis from the region of high to low water potential through a permeable membrane. Regions with higher concentrations of substances usually have low water potentials and vice versa.
Thus, both glucose and NaCl molecules will diffuse from the solution into the sac, and water molecules will move from the sac into the surrounding solution. Since the sac is not permeable to albumin, then the movement in or out is inhibited.
