Question

what is osmosis? the movement of water from low to high solute concentration the movement of nutrients into cells the movement of solutes from high to low concentration the movement of gases across a membrane question 18 0.75 pts what happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution? it remains the same size it shrinks it swells and may burst it becomes rigid

Explanation:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration). In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside the cell. Water moves into the cell by osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst.

Answer:

What is osmosis?

• The movement of water from low to high solute concentration

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

• It swells and may burst
