Answer:

If the cells are submerged in pure distilled water, each cell will absorb water from the environment where it is located, increase its volume and possibly break.

Explanation:

The cells maintain an osmotic balance relationship between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space, that is, the cell is isotonic with the medium.

When a cell is exposed to a hypotonic medium -such as that which provides pure distilled water- water will pass through osmosis from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm, causing the cell to increase in volume (swell) and the increase in internal pressure can Make it break.

<u>In osmosis, water passes from space with less concentration of solutes to the highest concentration</u>.

Evolutionary psychologists seek to understand how natural selection has shaped our traits and behavior tendencies. The principle of natural selection states that variations increasing the odds of reproducing and surviving are most likely to be passed on to future generations. Some variations arise from mutations (random errors in gene replication), others from new gene combinations at conception. Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution has for a long time been an organizing principle in biology, anticipated the contemporary application of evolutionary principles in psychology.
