Which of the following statements accurately describe how solutes affect a vesicle made of a selectively permeable membrane (that allows transporte hot the solute)? Drag "True" or "False" to the end of each statement. True False Reset Help When a vesicle containing 0.1 M Na is placed in water, the sodium ions will diffuse out and the vesicle will shrink. False When a vesicle is placed in a solution that is hypertonic to the inside, the vesicle will shrink. True When a vesicle containing 0.1 M Na+ is placed in a 0.1 M Cl solution, water molecules will no longer move across the lipid bilayer. When a vesicle containing 0.5 M Na is placed in a 0.3 M Nat solution, water is imported and the vesicle will swell.

Request Answer
Reset Help
When a vesicle containing 0.1 M Nat is placed in water, the sodium ions will diffuse out and
the vesicle will shrink. False
When a vesicle is placed in a solution that is hypertonic to the inside, the vesicle will shrink.
True
When a vesicle containing 0.1 M Nat is placed in a 0.1 M CI solution, water molecules will
no longer move across the lipid bilayer.
When a vesicle containing 0.5 M Na is placed in a 0.3 M Nat solution, water is imported
and the vesicle will swell.
