Imagine a small synthetic vesicle made from pure phospholipids enclosing an interior lumen containing 1 mm glucose and 1 mm sodium chloride. if the vesicle is placed in pure water, which of the following happens faster?

a. na+ diffuses out.
b. cl– diffuses out.
c. h2o diffuses in.
d. glucose diffuses out.
e. sodium chloride diffuses out.

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water.

Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.

b is the correct answer

mark me brainliest and hope this
