An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclose

An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclosed in a selectively permeable membrane has just been immersed in a beaker containing a different solution The membrane is permeable to water and to the simple sugars glucose and fructose but completely impermeable to the disaccharide sucrose Which of the following it (arc) true? Check all that apply sucrose will diffuse mio the cell sucrose will diffuse out of the cell glucose will diffuse into the cell glucose will diffuse into the cell fructose will diffuse out of the cell fructose will diffuse out of the cell water will diffuse into the cell water will diffuse out the cell the solution outside is hypotoni the solution outside Is hypertonic

Solution

The options which are true are

Option D - Glucose will diffuse out of the cell - Since concentration of glucose is higher inside the cell

Option E - Fructose will diffuse inside the cell - Since the concentration of fructose is zero and is lesser than the environment in the cell.

The other options are false.

Option G - Water will diffuse into the cell - Since the concentration of solute molecules are higher inside the cell water will diffuse into the cell

Option I - The solution outside is hypo tonic - The concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lesser than that of the solute concentration inside the cell.
