Question

  1. what would happen if water kept entering a cell and no water left the cell?

a) swell
b) shrink

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When water keeps entering a cell and none leaves, the cell gains water. This is due to osmosis (movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration to higher, or in this case, net inflow as more water enters). As water accumulates inside the cell, the cell's volume increases, causing it to swell. Shrinking would occur if water left the cell (like in a hypertonic solution), but here water is entering, so swelling is the result.

Answer:

a) swell
