A student performs an experiment to study the transport of water in and out of cells. He uses clear, semi-permeable plastic bags to represent the cell membrane. The student places three plastic bags of the same size, each containing a 1% concentration sucrose solution, into three different beakers. One beaker contains distilled water, another beaker contains a 3% concentration sucrose solution, and the third beaker contains a 1% concentration sucrose solution. The diagram shows the student's experimental setup, the plastic bag before it is placed in the beakers, and the appearance of the bags after an hour in each solution.

Which statement provides a conclusion about the transport of water in and out of cells based on the results of the student's experiment?

• Water moves freely both inside and outside the cell independent of the solute concentration.

• Water movement into the cell is dependent on the percent concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell.

• Water transports solutes out of the cell to balance the percent concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell.

• Water moves into the cell and solutes move out of the cell to ensure their concentration is balanced both inside and outside the cell.

A red blood cell is placed into an aqueous solution. The red blood cell has a lower concentration of protein and sugar than the aqueous solution, as shown in the diagram. In the diagram, the volume of the cell is equal to the volume outside the cell.

What is most likely to occur?

• Water from the solution will diffuse into the red blood cell.

• Water from the red blood cell will diffuse into the solution.

• Protein and sugar from the solution will diffuse into the red blood cell.

• Protein and sugar from the red blood cell will diffuse into the solution.
