7. You have constructed a bag using dialysis tubing and have filled it with \( 10 \% \) glucose, \( 15 \% \) \( \mathrm{NaCl} \) and \( 20 \% \) albumin. You place the bag in a beaker filled with a solution containing \( 15 \% \mathrm{NaCl} \), \( 20 \% \) albumin and \( 10 \% \) glucose. a. The solution in the bag is (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic) to the solution in the beaker. b. Which solution has a higher water potential? 8. You place a red blood cell in a beaker of distilled water. What will happen to the cell over time? Why? 9. You place a plant cell in a beaker of distilled water and leave it for a long period of time. You notice that the plant cell has not ruptured. Why not? 10. How do organelles, such as chloroplasts and mitochondria, maximize their surface area (thereby maximizing their chemical activities)? Hint: Look up these organelles in your textbook and look at their structure.
7) a) - both solutions are isotonic because they contain equal percentage of albumin, glucose and NaCl b) -The two solutions are isotonic, hence both have equal water potential. 8) - if you place red blood cell in a beaker of distilled water then the
