You have a beaker filled with a solution containing 2M glucose, 4M urea and 1M salt. Suspended in the solution is a cell that containing a solution of 1M glucose, 8M urea and 3M salt. The membrane of the cell is permeable to glucose and salt but not urea. Answer each of the following questions: a. Where will water move? b. Where will urea move? c. Where will glucose move?

following questions:
a. Where will water move?
b. Where will urea move?
c. Where will glucose move?
d. Where will salt move?
e. What will happen to the volume of fluid inside the cell?
f. What will happen to the osmolarity of the fluid inside the cell?
( Comment: As per the guidelines, we are allowed to answer maximum three subparts of a question at a time, so I am answering first three subparts, kindly repost rest subparts separately. )
Osmosis:
Osmosis is the process by which there occurs movement or flow of water from high concentration area to low concentration area.
Solute is the substance which is present in less amount in the solution.
Solvent is the substance which is present in more amount in the solution.
