Question

  1. what would happen if too little water moves into a cell?

a) swell
b) shrink

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When too little water moves into a cell, the cell loses water relative to its internal solute concentration (or the external environment has a higher solute concentration, leading to osmosis where water leaves or enters insufficiently). A cell needs water for its structure and function; if not enough enters, the cell's volume decreases, causing it to shrink. Swelling occurs when too much water enters the cell.

Answer:

b) shrink
