1. If the red blood cells are placed in beaker B, water would move out of the cells by osmosis and cause the cells to shrink. this is because the the solution is hyper tonic compared to the red blood cell.
2. If some red blood cells are placed in beaker A,
Water would move into the cells by osmosis and the cells would swell.
3. The concentration of water inside and outside the cells will be equal so no osmosis would occur. There is no osmotic pressure.
4. Water takes part in the production of lipids and carbohydrates.
5. The membrane and water are both involved in the movement of materials into and out of the cell. The membrane is semipermeable therefore it allows the transmission of materials into and out of the cell. water acts as a solvent for the materials entering the cell as in their original forms, they can not enter through the cell membrane pores.

7. OSMOSIS AND DIFFUSION are both examples of passive transport as the cells do not take part in the transport. It only occurs due to uncontrollable conditions that occur in a cycle in the cell.
