Assume a living cell with \( 0.9\% \) \( (\omega/\omega) \) of glucose solution (aqueous). This cell is immersed in another solution having equal mole fraction of glucose and water. (Consider the data upto first decimal place only)The cell will:
show no change in volume since solution is \( 0.9\% \) \( (\omega/\omega) \)
shrink since solution is \( 0.45\% \) \( (\omega/\omega) \) as a result of association of glucose molecules (due to hydrogen bonding)
swell up since solution is \( 1\% \) \( (\omega/\omega) \)
shrink since solution is \( 0.5\% \) \( (\omega/\omega) \)
