Solutes in the bloodstream enter cells through a diffusion process called osmosis, the diffusion of fluid through a semi-permeable membrane. Let C = C(t)
be the concentration of a certain solute inside a particular cell. The rate at which
the concentration inside the cell is changing is proportional to the difference in the
concentration of the solute in the bloodstream and the concentration within the cell.
Suppose the concentration of a solute in the bloodstream is maintained at a constant
level of L gm/cm?
