  1. Short Answer – Problem solving:
  • Example 

A cell that is 9% glucose and 15% albumin is suspended in a solution that is 12% glucose and 8% albumin.  All substances mentioned are permeable through the cell membrane and pass through by passive transport.  Using the choices:  (A) Enters the cell, (B) Leaves the cell, or (C) Does Not Move, please tell how each of the following will move in this solution.

{You may want to draw out a picture to help you solve this problem}
