PLEASE ANSWER FAST!! A scientist put red blood cells in water that contained salt. Over time, the red blood cells burst. What is
most likely true? The concentration of water inside the cell was greater than in the salt water. There was a higher concentration of salt in the water than in the cells. There was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells. The concentration of water in the cells and salt water were equal.
It is most likely true that there was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells because when blood cells are put in a hypotonic solution such as pure water, the little to no salt concentration in the water causes the cells to swell and burst. This would occur because the water would try to dilute the solution inside of the blood cell and which would, therefore, cause it to burst. Hope this helps!
