The transmembrane pathway is the route followed by water in which

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. water moves exclusively through the cell wall without crossing any membranes
  2. water travels from one cell to the next via the plasmodesmata, the entire network of cell cytoplasm interconnected by plasmodesmata
  3. water enters a cell in this pathway by passing a single membrane  for each cell in its path
  4. enters a cell on one side, exits the cell on the other side, enters the next in the series and so on.In this pathway, water crosses at least two membranes for each cell in its path

Five dialysis bags, constructed of a type of membrane that is permeable to water and impermeable to sucrose, were filled with various concentrations of sucrose and then placed in separate beakers containing an initial concentration of 0.6 M sucrose solution. At 10-minute intervals, the bags were massed (weighed), and the percent change in mass of each bag was graphed.

Which line or lines in the graph represent(s) bags that contain a solution that is hypertonic at 50 minutes?
