Question

solute concentrations are not only important for red blood cells, but also for the organs of the body, like the brain. the nutrients for the brain are delivered by the blood vessels. the wall of the blood vessels are semi - permeable membranes that allow free water to move between the blood and the matrix of the brain. in the image, is the blood hypertonic, isotonic, or hypotonic compared to the matrix of the brain? hypertonic isotonic hypotonic incorrect. the blood is hypotonic compared to the matrix of the brain because it has less solutes than the matrix. now, which way will free water molecules move? from blood to matrix from matrix to blood

Explanation:

La osmosis es el movimiento de agua a través de una membrana semipermeable hacia una solución de mayor concentración de solutos. En este caso, la sangre es hipotónica en comparación con la matriz cerebral (tiene menos solutos). Por lo tanto, el agua se moverá hacia la solución de mayor concentración de solutos (la matriz cerebral).

Answer:

From blood to matrix
