Question

In a beaker , compartment A has a 25% glucose solution, and compartment B has a 5% glucose solution. The membrane is permeable to both the solvent and solute. What transport mechanism can move glucose from B to A?

Answer 1

Answer: The mechanism for this process is osmosis.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a beaker having 2 compartments, one having 25% glucose solution and one having 5% glucose solution. So, the transport of solution will happen from compartment A to compartment B by the mechanism of osmosis.

Osmosis is a process in which solvent particles move from the compartment having higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

This mechanism will be followed for the transport mechanism from compartment A to compartment B.
