The solutions in the arms of this u-tube are separated at the bottom by a semipermeable membrane. the membrane is not permeable to glucose. side a is filled with a solution of 0.2 molar glucose and side b is filled with 0.5 molar glucose. initially the volume in both arms is the same. if you examine side a after three days, you should find

the volume of solution A would have decreased.

Explanation:

The concentration of glucose in solution B is higher than that of solution A. Hence, solution B is said to be hypertonic in relative to solution A, while solution A is said to be hypotonic relative to solution B.

Solution B thus has lower water potential than solution A. Consequently, water molecules moves from solution A to solution B till an equilibrium is established.

Hence, if side A is examined after three days, it will be discovered that the volume has decreased as a result of losing water to solution A.

scientists have discovered that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's direct effect on the host's immune cells, but rather through the cells' lethal influence on one another. researchers from the gladstone institutes have revealed that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's
