Question

an animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causes
solutes to move out of the cell.
solutes to move into the cell.
water to move out of the cell.
water to move into the cell.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration (fresh water, low solute) to an area of higher solute concentration (inside an animal cell, which has more dissolved solutes). Animal cells lack a rigid cell wall, so excess water entering the cell causes it to burst.

Answer:

water to move into the cell.
