A simple dialysis tubing setup is shown above. The left image shows the original experimental setup and the right image shows the effects after twenty minutes. What description explains the movement of particles through the dialysis bag?

Answer: B) The membrane is permeable to the solvent and dialysate, but not to the protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

the molecules will eventually reach equilibrium due to the concentrations on each side of the membrane and the water potential of the solution inside and outside of the dialysis bag. The proteins cannot move through the membrane, and therefore stay in the dialysis bag.
