A bacterium that grows at a temperature of 37C transports both glucose and NaCl into its cytoplasm. Which is most easily dissolved in the cytoplasm? Explain how the bonds of these molecules impact disassociation rate?

70% of cytoplasm is water, so the most hydrophilic substance is most easily dissolved.

NaCl > solubility > 359 g·l−1 at 20 °C
Glucose > solubility > 470 g·l−1 at 20 °C.

I'm sure you can answer your question now.
