Answer:
hypertonic
Explanation:
The solution in side A is hypertonic with respect to side B.
A hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher concentration of solutes in comparison with a neighbouring solution separated by a selectively permeable membrane.
In terms of both sucrose and glucose concentrations, the solution in side A is higher than the solution in side B of the U-tube. Hence, side A is hypertonic to side B.
A hypertonic solution is as opposed to a hypotonic solution with the latter having a lower concentration of solutes as compared to a neighbouring solution. Isotonic solutions have equal solute concentrations with their neighbouring solutions.
