Question

question 48 multiple choice worth 2 points (02 04 mc) a student conducted an experiment to observe what happens to a plant cell when placed in different solutions. analyze the following observation of a plant cell. what is the best explanation of the movement of molecules? water is only moving out of the cell water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate than into the cell water is moving into the cell at a faster rate than out of the cell water is moving in and out of the cell at the same rate.

Explanation:

The plant cell is plasmolyzed, which indicates a hyper - tonic environment. In a hyper - tonic solution, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane. The cell is losing water, so water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate than into the cell.

Answer:

B. Water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate than into the cell.
