Question

question 42 if a eukaryotic cell is dropped into a salty solution what is most likely to occur a. the cell will transport salt ions inside the cell using active transport b. the cell will gain water due to osmosis c. the cell will lose water due to osmosis d. the cell will lose additional ions to the environment through diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. A salty solution has a higher solute (salt) concentration compared to the inside of a eukaryotic cell. So, water will move out of the cell by osmosis.

Answer:

C. the cell will lose water due to osmosis
