Answer:

Explanation:

It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).

What would happen if a cell membrane let too much water into a cell?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

<u>Animal Cell</u>

When water moves into an animal cell (e.g. a red blood cell), the cell membrane stretches and the cell gets bigger. If this continues, the cell membrane will burst – this is called lysis.

<u>Plant Cell</u>

When too much water moves out of a plant cell the cell contents shrink. This pulls the cell membrane away from the cell wall. A plasmolyzed cell is unlikely to survive.

How many electrons were lost or gained to form the ion fe3+?

Fofino [41]

3 electrons were lost— you can tell by the 3+ charge bc electrons are negative, so when they are lost that means there are more protons than electrons now, which means the positive protons overpower the electrons and make the ion positive.
