Answer:because of energy stored
Explanation:
Explanation:
1. cell membranes are partialy permeable, only allowing passage to some certain molecules.
2. diffusion is the movement of molecules across partially permeable membrane down concentration gradient.
3. the molecules are too big to pass through partially permeable membrane. the concentration of the molecule might be higher in the cell than in the solution/surroundings.
Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.
The brine is a hypertonic solution, thereby "pulling" the water out of the bacterial cells.
