Question
- what is the % of glucose outside the cell?
- what is the % of water outside the cell?
- what is the % of water inside the cell?
- will osmosis occur?
- if so, which way will water move (into or out of the cell)?
- will the cell swell or shrink?
- the cell is in what type of solution (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic)?
(image shows: outside the cell (beaker) has \10% glucose\, inside the cell (blue shape) has \20% glucose\)
Response
1. What is the % of glucose outside the cell?
Step1: Observe the diagram
The diagram shows the outside solution has 10% glucose.
Step1: Recall total percentage
The total percentage of a solution (glucose + water) is 100%.
Step2: Calculate water percentage
If glucose is 10%, then water percentage = 100% - 10% = 90%.
Step1: Recall total percentage
The total percentage of the cell's internal solution (glucose + water) is 100%.
Step2: Calculate water percentage
Given glucose inside the cell is 20%, so water percentage = 100% - 20% = 80%.
