Answer and explanation:
If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.
<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.
In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
I'm not completely sure, but I'm fairly certain that the answer is B.

Answer:
The correct option is b
Explanation:
Phospholipids are lipids that contains a phosphate group, which forms the "head" of the molecule and is hydrophilic (water loving). The "tail" of phospholipids is made of two fatty acids which are hydrophobic (water fearing). The phospholipid in the cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell <u>thereby protecting the cell from some external molecules and ions</u>.
