QUESTION 1 When two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, water will flow from the hypoosmotic (hypotonic) solution to the hyperosmotic (hypertonic) solution. O True O False QUESTION 2 If you have a cell containing 75% water and 25% solutes, that is immersed in a solution of 95% water and 5% solutes, which way will water diffuse across the cell's semipermeable membrane? o a. Diffusion? What means this diffusion of which you speak? Ob.Neither into nor out of the cel. O c. Into the cell. O d.Out of the cell. QUESTION 3 A doctor treating their patlents for cholera is gven a choice of four fluids to choose from to use for rehydration therapy. Which of the following four fluids would be the best choice?

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 : True

In osmosis, when the two solutions are seperated via a semi permeable membrane , the water always flow from a hypotonic solution ( higher water potential) to hypertonic solution ( lower water potential).

It can also be said that the water flows from a more less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution , untill the concentrations are equal on both the sides.
