Ascientist performs an experiment in which they create an artificial cell with a selectively permeable membrane through which only water can pass. they inject a 5 m solution of glucose into the cell and then place the cell into a beaker containing 10 m glucose. what effect do you expect to observe?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane. The best way to understand this process is that water has a tendency to move to hypertonic solutions to keep concentrations equal at both sides of the cell membrane. If the cell is put in a hypertonic solution the water will move out of the cell and shrink. This process is known as plasmolisis.
