1. An animal cell has a 2% salt concentration. It is placed into a solution with a 0.05% salt concentration. What would happen t
o the animal cell? A: water will move into the animal cell causing it to shrivel
B: water will move into the animal cell causing it to swell and burst
C: water will move out of the animal cell causing it to swell and burst
D: water will move out of the animal cell causing it to shrivel
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.
They clean the animals because, the oil will harm them otherwise. Meaning if the oil stay s on them long enough, it can harm them dramatically; In ways in which it may cause death.
