eable membrane. Observations are made of water-perm the hydrostatic pressure differencePH-Pal across the grid at timed intervals with the following results: time PB-PA hours) (cm H20) tube after equilibration Which of the following statcments is truc? A. At 0 hours the osmotic pressue differece nB A 3 m H20. R. At 1 C. At 3 hours the osmolalitics of the fluids in compartments A and B are equal. D. At 3 hours the osmotic pressure of the tluids in compartments A and B are cqual. E. At 2 hours the osmotic pressurc of solution B is 3 cm H20 hour the osrriotic pressur of solution R is cm H2O.Explanation / Answer
Ans: At 3 hours the osmotic pressure of the fluids in the compartments A and B are equal. As we can see that the pressure difference in the two compartments is not further increasing. This means that water is not flowing towards compartment B.
