Question

the model illustrates a process by which a substance is taken up by a cell. which statement describes the process? select the correct answer. the cell wall shown in the model is changed into a cell membrane. this process is called phagocytosis and requires energy from the cell. the model shows the process of facilitated diffusion and requires energy from the cell. the process shown is called pinocytosis and requires no energy from the cell. a red - blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. what is the most likely outcome for the cell? the cell will shrink. the cell will become crenated. the cell will remain the same size. the cell will swell and possibly burst.

Explanation:

For the first part, the model shows a cell engulfing a particle, which is phagocytosis and it is an active - process requiring energy. For the second part, in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the red - blood cell due to osmosis.

Answer:

1. This process is called phagocytosis and requires energy from the cell.
2. The cell will swell and possibly burst.
