Question

choose the correct terms for each lettered box to complete the concept map. a cell immersed in a high salt environment leads to low salt environment a c because water diffuses b d a. (click to select) b. (click to select) c. (click to select) d. (click to select)

Explanation:

In a high - salt environment (hypertonic), water diffuses out of the cell causing it to shrink (plasmolyze) and become flaccid. In a low - salt environment (hypotonic), water diffuses into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst (lysis in animal cells or become turgid in plant cells).

Answer:

A. Water diffuses out of the cell
B. Cell shrinks (or plasmolyzes, or becomes flaccid)
C. Water diffuses into the cell
D. Cell swells (or lyses in animal cells, or becomes turgid in plant cells)
