question 36

Multiple Choice

Examine the figure below. If each sugar molecule represents a percentage point of sugar dissolved in the solution, what change would you expect to see in the solution level over time and why?

• A)The solution level on the left side of the figure would rise while the solution level on the right side of the figure would decrease. This is because the solution on the left side of the figure is hypertonic while the solution on the right side of the figure is hypotonic.
• B)The solution level on the left side of the figure would decrease while the solution level on the right side of the figure would rise. This is because the solution on the left side of the figure is hypertonic while the solution on the right side of the figure is hypotonic.
• C)The solution level on the left side of the figure would decrease while the solution level on the right side of the figure would rise. This is because the solution on the left side of the figure is hypotonic while the solution on the right side of the figure is hypertonic.
• D)There will be no net movement of water because the solutions are isotonic.
