Ascientist performs an experiment in which they create an artificial cell with a selectively permeable membrane through which only water can pass. they inject a 5 m solution of glucose into the cell and then place the cell into a beaker containing 10 m glucose. what effect do you expect to observe?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane. The best way to understand this process is that water has a tendency to move to hypertonic solutions to keep concentrations equal at both sides of the cell membrane. If the cell is put in a hypertonic solution the water will move out of the cell and shrink. This process is known as plasmolisis.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.

sound moves fastest in solids because the molecules are tightly packed and it allows sound to vibrate
