If a cell is placed in a concentrated solution of glucose, would you expect water to move in or out of thecell

Answer 1

Water from the cell will move out of it due to osmosis.

Answer 2

You'd expect it to move out of the cell to dilute the glucose solution. Osmosis causes water to move from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated one. This is why very strong sugary solutions like marmalade, honey, molasses and golden syrup don't go mouldy or decompose; the fungi or bacteria can't get the water they need to survive.

Answer 3

if the concentration of glucose in the cell is less than the concentration outside the cell, water will move out

osmosis, a form of diffusion, is the tendency for water to move from areas of high concentrations of water to lower concentrations

Answer 4

Out.

Answer 5

out
