Answer: water will move out of the animal cell causing it to swell and burst  (Option C)


Explanation:


When a cell is immersed into a salty solution, the osmotic pressure generated by concentration differences of salt, will make the salt come in due to cell self-protection mechanism of the cell and water will come out, eventually the cell can burst .But since the animal cells has a higher concentration of salt and the solution has a lower concentration osmosis will take place and salt will move from higher salt concentration to lower.

The mouth is what we generally call the buccal cavity. It is an opening that contains the teeth and the tongue. The tongue plays the important role of serving as the organ of taste while the teeth serves to marsh food. It is the white strong structure that occurs in the mouth that enables is to masticate our food. Also in the mouth we have the salivary gland which plays the role of secreting the saliva and we know that the saliva contains from enzymes that makes it possible for the digestion of food to commence at the moth. It the follows that the buccal cavity is made up of the teeth, tongue and salivary glands.

Why is it incorrect to say the insulation 'keeps out the cold'
Sonja [21]
Because technically there is no such thing as cold
all that exists is heat
this is because heat is the rapid movement of particles, made by friction (to understand why you must delve into physics and some chemistry)
so, when you feel cold, it's really the absence of heat
so instead of "keeping the cold out", which makes no sense at all scientifically, insulation keeps the heat in.

as a side note
the feeling of cold is produced when you come in contact with an object (yes, air counts) that has less heat, or energy, than you do, You feel cold because heat (energy) from your body is being transferred to the environment. This ABSENCE OF HEAT in your body is why you feel cold
