Question

A cell has 50% solute and 50% solvent. The solution the cell is sitting in has 30% solvent, and 70% solute. What would happen to the cell, if the membrane only allowed diffusion to take place.

Answer 1

From the options ;The cell would crenate, the solvent would move into the solution ( A )

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

since the cell has a 50% solute and 50% solvent while the solution where the cell is sitted contains a 30% solvent and a 70% solute. and the cell membrane allows for osmosis. this shows that the solute concentration in the solution is higher than solute concentration in the cell.

The solution is hypertonic ( has a higher solute percentage ) therefore the water ( solvent ) from the cell will move into the solution causing the cell to crenate.

hence we can conclude that the cell would crenate and the solvent would move into the solution
