Answer to Question 1

Awesome job my friend

Answer to Question 2

The two spaces include the intracellular and extracellular spaces. Water always follows sodium, so movement of sodium across a membrane causes movement of water molecules across that same membrane. Sodium and potassium are exchanged by way of the sodium-potassium pump that moves sodium from one side of the cell while moving potassium to the other side of the cell.
