Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure. A rock is any naturally formed, nonliving, firm, and coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet.
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand.
When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)
When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.
Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.
Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.
