C At equilibrium, movement of X across the membrane will be much faster in one direction than in the other.
D At equilibrium, the netflux of X across the cell membrane is zero.
E Solute X will reach equilibrium, but the concentration will be much higher on the inside of the cell because of the smaller volume.
