Multiple Choice
The solutions in the arms of a U-tube are separated at the bottom of the tube by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to sodium chloride but not to glucose. Side A is filled with a solution of 0.4 M glucose and 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl) , and side B is filled with a solution containing 0.8 M glucose and 0.4 M sodium chloride. Initially, the volume in both arms is the same. 
At the beginning of the U-tube experiment illustrated above, which of the following statements is true?
A) Side A is hypertonic to side B.
B) Side A is hypotonic to side B.
C) Side A is hypertonic to side B with respect to glucose.
D) Side A is hypotonic to side B with respect to NaCl.
