Question

passive transport (diffusion & osmosis) - only the water molecules can pass in/out of the cells. defined: diffusion of water from a high to low concentration. distilled water - 100% pure h2o - no solutes - salt water - high solutes 1) which cell would swell? 2) which cell is filled with a hypotonic solution? cell a 60% water cell b 80% water 70% water 30% solute multiple - choice question 1) which cell would swell? cell a cell b rewatch

Explanation:

Step1: Understand osmosis principle

Osmosis is the movement of water from high - water concentration to low - water concentration. A cell swells when water moves into it.

Step2: Analyze cell A

Cell A has 60% water. The environment has 70% water. Water will move into cell A.

Step3: Analyze cell B

Cell B has 80% water. The environment has 70% water. Water will move out of cell B.

Answer:

Cell A
