Chapter 30, Problem 2VCQ
Figure 30.32 Positive water potential is placed on the left side of the tube by increasing ?p such that the water level rises on the right side. Could you equalize the water level on each side of the tube by adding solute, and if so, how?

I cannot seem to understand this:
In the set-up shown in the figure below, which of the following statements describe what would be observed after 12 hours of time have elapsed?
The level of the solution in the tube would rise
The level of the solution in the beaker would rise
The level of the solution would not change as the membrane prohibits any exchange between tube and the beaker.
The level of the solution in the tube would lower
Osmotic pressure tends to:
A. Be a pushing pressure
B. Be a drawing (pulling) pressure
C. Neither A or B
D. Both A & B
