A cell has 50% solute and 50% solvent. The solution the cell is siting in has 30%
solvent, and 70% solute. What would happen to the cell, if the membrane only
allows osmosis to take place (DOK 2)?

If the membrane only allows osmosis to take place, the cell would shrink.

Osmosis is the thermal movement of water molecule (solvents) through a selectively permeable membrane (the cell membrane) from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of high concentration of solute.

When a cell contains 50% solute and 50% solvent is means it is isotonic.

When a solution surrounding a cell contains more solute (70%) and less solvent (30%) than the cell, it is said to be hypertonic.

Therefore when an isotonic cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there would be movement of water molecules from the cell, which has low concentration of solute to the surrounding solution with high solute concentration.
