Multiple Choice

Refer to the figure.
The two chambers in the figure are separated by a semipermeable membrane. What will happen to the fluid levels if salt is added to the left chamber?

A) The solute concentration of the left chamber will increase, but the liquid levels will not change.
B) The difference in solute concentration will push salt and water molecules through the membrane until the concentrations are equivalent, which will overcome gravity and result in a higher level of fluid in the right chamber.
C) If enough salt is added, the difference in solute concentration will push salt molecules through the membrane until the osmotic pressure is less extreme, but the liquid levels will not change.
D) Water molecules from the right chamber will pass through the membrane until the ratio of water to salt is the same in both chambers, resulting in a higher level of fluid in the left chamber, despite gravity.
