Given a selectively permeable membrane that is permeableto water but not to a particular solute and given that thereare different solute concentrations on the two sides of themembrane, show the direction of water movement and labelthe side with the higher osmotic pressure.
A solution of water and dissolved ions is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not small ions. The concentration of sodium is higher on one side of the membrane than onthe other side. However, there is no net movement of water across the membrane. How is this possible?
The determination of membrane permeability to a specific solute is broadly Fick's first law that is modified to account fo.. all of the aboe O membrane thickness O the solute's ability to dissolve in lipids O the electrical interaction between the solute and the membrane O the size of the solute relative to the membrane lipids
