Question

Consider an experiment in which you put starch solution in the beaker and plain water in the dialysis bag. This creates a situation that is                            [ Select ]                       ["hypertonic (the contents of the bag are more dilute than the surrounding environment)", "hypotonic (the contents of the bag are more concentrated than the environment)", "isotonic (the contents of the bag and environement are equally concentrated)"]         . You would then expect the weight of the bag to                            [ Select ]                       ["decrease", "increase", "stay the same"]         because of the                           [ Select ]                       ["active transport", "diffusion", "facilitated diffusion", "teleportation"]         of                            [ Select ]                       ["water", "starch", "IKI solution"]         molecules.

Explanation / Answer

(A) hypertonic(solution in bag is more diluted than environment)

(B) decrease

(C) diffusion

(D) water
