Question

question 5 of 10 what is happening when the cells start to swell up with water? a. membranes are less permeable. b. solutes are moving outside. c. osmosis is taking place. d. diffusion is stopping.

Explanation:

When cells swell with water, it indicates water - influx. Osmosis is the process of water movement across a semi - permeable membrane. If cells are swelling, it means water is entering due to a concentration gradient and the cell membranes are allowing this water movement while being less permeable to solutes, which helps in the osmotic process of water entering the cell.

Answer:

A. Membranes are less permeable.
