Question

Solute exchange among body fluids takes place by diffusion or active transport and water diffusion keeps the osmolarities of the different body fluids the same The diagram below gives the relative concentrations of various substances in intracellular and interstitial fluids While smaller solutes can diffuse through the cell membrane larger ones must rely only on protein transport Based on this information which of the following statements can be inferred Check all that apply View Available Hint s Sodium ions diffuse out of the cell Potassium ions diffuse into cells Large proteins do not diffuse freely through the cell membrane Potassium ions must be actively transported into cells Water can pass through the cell membrane by osmosis OSmall proteins pass through the cell membrane by osmosis Submit Previous Answers Intracellular fluid Cell Low Nat concentration High K concentration High protein concentration Interstitial fluid High Nat concentration Low K concentration Low protein concentration
