Question

An animal cell with a .1 M cytoplasm concentration is placed into a 2 molar sucrose solution. Describe the direction of osmosis and the pressure in bars.​

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The concentration in the sucrose solution is higher compared to the cytoplasmic concentration. This increases the osmotic pressure on the inside. Water molecules pass out of the cell which will then shrink. The water molecules move from high to low concentrated region in the sucrose solution.
