Question

which table shows the initial concentration of solute in the cell and in the solution that would cause the cell to change shape as shown in the diagram? a location solute concentration inside cell 12% outside cell 12% b location solute concentration inside cell 7% outside cell 5% c location solute concentration inside cell 3% outside cell 6% d location solute concentration inside cell 0% outside cell 0%

Explanation:

The cell shape change is due to osmosis, where water moves from lower to higher solute concentration. The diagram likely shows the cell shrinking (vacuole smaller in "After"), indicating water exited. This occurs when extracellular solute concentration is higher than intracellular.

Answer:

C. Location: Inside Cell (3%), Outside Cell (6%)
