Multiple Choice

In the classic red blood cell and pure water example, where is the higher solute concentration located?

In the pure water outside the cell

Inside the red blood cell

There is no solute present in either location

Equally inside and outside the cell

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Step 2: Recognize that red blood cells contain solutes such as ions, proteins, and other molecules, while pure water has no solutes.

Step 3: Compare the solute concentrations inside the red blood cell and outside in the pure water. Inside the red blood cell, there is a higher solute concentration due to the presence of dissolved substances.

Step 4: Recall that water will move into the red blood cell in this scenario because the solute concentration is higher inside the cell, creating an osmotic gradient.

Step 5: Conclude that the higher solute concentration is located inside the red blood cell, which drives the osmotic movement of water into the cell.
