Question
- what would happen if too much water moved into the cell? *
a) swell
b) shrink
Brief Explanations
When too much water moves into a cell (a process related to osmosis, where water moves from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration inside the cell), the cell gains volume. A cell swelling is the result of increased water intake, while shrinking occurs when water leaves the cell (e.g., in a hypertonic environment). So the correct option is the one where the cell swells.
