Assume a living cell with 
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
shrink since soluton is 
B
shrink since solution is 
as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding)
as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding) C
swell up since solution is 
D
Show no change in volume since solution is 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Living cell 
in 100 gm of solution 
Solution is have equal moles of glucose and water 
Weight of solution 
Concentrated solution
Cell will shrink.
