The "cell" has a sucrose concentration of 0.1M and a glucose concentration of 0.1M. The "environment" has a sucrose concentration of 0.3M and a glucose concentration of 0.2M. The membrane is permeable to sucrose but is impermeable (not permeable) to glucose. 2.1 Will the sucrose move? If so, which way?

Question

Answer all please and label which question to which so i know 

The "cell" has a sucrose concentration of 0.1M and a glucose
concentration of 0.1M. The "environment" has a sucrose concentration of 0.3M and a
glucose concentration of 0.2M. The membrane is permeable to sucrose but is impermeable
(not permeable) to glucose.
2.1 Will the sucrose move? If so, which way?
2.2 Will the glucose move? If so, which way?
2.3 Will the water move? If so, which way?
2.4 Is the starting solution outside the cell isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic?
