Answer:

D) Water will leave the cells, causing them to shrivel and collapse.

Explanation:

In the situation described in the question above, if the red blood cells were transferred to seawater, the water would come out of the cells by osmosis, causing those cells to shrivel and collapse. This would occur because the concentration of NaCl in seawater is greater than the concentration of NaCl within the cell, so in an attempt to balance the cell would spill the water from within it to balance NaCl concentrations. As a result, the cell would wither and collapse.

Yes and no, yes because they need to learn how the industry works and how you gain and lose profit, no because they are too young and can’t understand the concept of running a site.
