Question

10 In a solution of 10% sugar and 90% water, I have placed a cell that contains 30% sugar and 70 % water. Which of the following describes OSMOSIS in this situation? A. Water moves into the cell B. Water moves out of the cell C. Water moves in and out equally D. Water does not move in the above situation. 11 Which of the following terms would best describe the effects on that cell? A. Apoptosis B. Crenation C. Lysis D. No effect of the cell

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Water moves into the cell

C. Lysis

Explanation:

Water moves into the cell due to high concentration of solutes i. e. sugar. If a cell has low concentration of solute than outside environment so the water moves outside toward more solutes while when the concentration of cell has more solute than external environment so water moves inside the cell towards more solute through the process of osmosis. Due to more diffusion of water into the cell, the Lysis will occurs in which the cell will burst due to expansion of its area.
