Question

7 multiple choice 1 point a red blood cell placed in pure water would
neither shrink nor swell
swell and burst
shrink
swell initially, then shrink as equilibrium is reached
8 multiple choice 1 point a cell engulfing a relatively large particle will likely utilize
pinocytosis
receptor - mediated endocytosis
exocytosis
phagocytosis

Explanation:

For question 7, pure water is hypotonic compared to the interior of a red - blood cell. Water will move into the cell by osmosis, causing it to swell and burst. For question 8, phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs large particles. Pinocytosis is for small fluid - like substances, receptor - mediated endocytosis is for specific molecules, and exocytosis is for secretion out of the cell.

Answer:

1. B. swell and burst
2. D. phagocytosis
