Question

A cell containing 15% salt is placed in a 55% salt solution. If osmosis takes place, which statement below correctly describes the movement of the?

Answer 1

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cell containing 15% salt is placed in a 55% salt solution and osmosis takes place, water molecules would move from the cytosol of the cell to the surrounding salt solution until an equilibrium concentration is established between the two solutions. The cell would lose water to the 55% salt solution and become flaccid because it has a higher water potential than the surrounding solution.
