Answer:

I think it has to do with osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process of having water pass from a low concentration medium to a high concentration one, given that the barrier (membrane) is semi-permeable.

When a cell is placed into distilled water, hypertonic solution takes place.

A cell may contain many solutes so it is considered hypertonic when compared to distilled water which is hypotonic So in this case, when a cell is placed in distilled water, water moves from outside of the cell to the inside leading to swelling of the cell.

This means that only the organisms with the best adaptations for their surroundings will survive. COULD BE WRONG SORRY IF IT IS
