Answer:
a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.
Explanation:
Two solutions of the same molarity are separated from each other by a membrane that allows water molecules but not the glucose or sucrose to move across it. Movement of water across the selectively permeable membrane occurs only when two solutions have different concentrations of solutes. In that case, water moves from a hypotonic solution towards a hypertonic solution. Since both sucrose and glucose solutions have the same tonicity, there would not be any change in the solution.
ASAP. You said to give you the correct answer, which is ASAP.
Answer:
Within the extracellular fluid, the major cation is sodium and the major anion is chloride.
Chloride is a major contributor to the osmotic pressure gradient between the ICF and ECF, and plays an important role in maintaining proper hydration. It functions to balance cations in the ECF, maintaining the electrical neutrality of this fluid.
Chloride is by large the major anion in the extracellular fluid.
Its concentration in blood plasma is around 98.00–107.00 (mM), in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around 118.00–132.00 (mM) and in urine around 110.00–250.00 (mM); while the concentrations of bicarbonate (HCO3-), the second most abundant anion in blood is 22.00–29.00 (mM).
Chloride is the predominant extracellular anion. Chloride is a major contributor to the osmotic pressure gradient between the ICF and ECF, and plays an important role in maintaining proper hydration.

*ICF = intracellular fluid
ECF = extracellular fluid
