A. The molarity of urea would be higher outside than inside the cell.
B. The molarity of sucrose would be similar inside and outside the cell.
C. Water would move out of the cell causing the cell to shrivel.
D. The molarity of urea would be higher outside the cell and the molarity of sucrose would be similar inside and outside the cell.
E. The molarity of sucrose would be similar inside and outside the cell and water would move out of the cell causing the cell to shrivel.
