Question
Assume a living cell with 0.9% (/) of glucose solution (aqueous). This cell is immersed in another solution having equal mole fraction of glucose and water. (Consider the data upto first decimal place only) The cell will: (A) show no change in volume since solution is 0.9%(/) (B) swell up since solution is 1%(/) (C) shrink since solution is 0.5%(/) (D) shrink since solution is 0.45%(/) as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding)
💡 Solution & Explanation
ution having equal mole fraction of glucose and water. (Consider the data upto first decimal place only) The cell will: (1) show no change in volume since solution is 0.9%(/) (2) swell up since solution is 1%(/) (3) shrink since solution is 0.5%(/) (4) shrink since solution is 0.45%(/) as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding) Ans. (NTA ans. 1, Reso ans. Bonus) Sol. As % (/) of another solution is higher than cell solution so cell shrink. % (/) of another solution is higher than 0.5 so no perfect option matching.
