Question

red blood cells placed in distilled water will _______________. shrink as proteins move out of the cell by diffusion remain unchanged because of homeostatic mechanisms shrink as sodium moves out of the cells by diffusion swell as water moves into the cells by active transport swell as water moves into the cells by osmosis question 11 1.75 pts phagocytic white blood cells engulf and digest bacteria and cellular debris. which organelle would be most involved in the digestion of the engulfed material? golgi apparatus lysosomes ribosomes mitochondria endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

For the first question, distilled water is hypotonic to red - blood cells. Water moves into cells by osmosis (a passive process, not active transport), causing them to swell. For the second question, lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are responsible for breaking down engulfed material like bacteria and cellular debris.

Answer:

1. swell as water moves into the cells by osmosis
2. Lysosomes
