What would happen to an animal cell with an internal salt concentration of 70% if it were placed in a salt solution with a conce

Answer:

It will swell and eventually burst because water from the environment is flowing into the cell

Explanation:

This question is describing OSMOSIS, which is the movement of water from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The osmotic process is facilitated by the formation of an OSMOTIC GRADIENT i.e. difference in concentration between the two sides of the membrane.

In this case, an animal cell containing an internal salt concentration of 70% (hypertonic) were placed in a salt solution with a concentration of 20% (hypotonic), OSMOSIS will occur in the sense that water will move from where it is more concentrated (salt solution) into where it is less concentrated (animal cell), hence, the animal cell will SWELL AND EVENTUALLY BURST.

"Biological" redirects here. For other uses, see Biological (disambiguation).

Biology is the scientific study of life.[1][2][3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.[1][2][3] For instance, all living organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Another major theme is evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life.[1][2][3] Finally, all living organisms require energy to move, grow, and reproduce, as well as to regulate their own internal environment.[1][2][3][4][5]

Biology deals with the study of life and organisms.

Biologists are able to study life at multiple levels of organization.[1] From the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and to the evolution of populations.[1][6] Thus, there are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by the nature of their research questions and the tools that they used.[7][8][9] Like other scientists, biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, and perform experiments to satisfy their curiosity about the world around them.[1]

Life on Earth, which emerged before 3.7 billion years ago,[10] is immensely diverse. Biologists have sought to study and classify the various forms of life, from prokaryotic organisms such as archaea and bacteria to eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals. These various living organisms contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem, where they play specialized roles in the exchange of energy and nutrients.
