Two solutions are separated by a membrane that contains only channels
permeable to water (aquaporins). The solution in the left compartment contains
30mm NaCl, which dissociates completely, and the right compartment contains
60mm urea which is a small, charged molecule that does not dissociate. Which
of the following statements is correct?
- Water will not flow because osmotic forces are balanced
- water will flow from right to left because the osmotic concentration of the
NaCl is higher
- water will flow from left to right because the osmotic concentration of the urea
is higher
- urea will diffuse from right to left - ANSWER Water will not flow because
osmotic forces are balanced
