Two aqueous solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a permeable membrane. Osmosis is allowed to take place. The water will: move towards the side with higher solute concentration move towards the side with higher water concentration move equally in both directions not cross the membrane

The concentration of water is equal in the cytoplasm of liver cells and in the blood plasma. Explain this observation in terms of membrane permeability and transport mechanisms. Animal cells typically maintain a higher concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a higher concentration of K+ inside the cell via the Na+-K+ pump. The drug ouabain inhibits the activity of the Na+-K+ pump. A nerve cell is incubated in ouabain. Predict what will happen to the concentrations of Na+ and…
