Question

Some organisms that normally live in pond water contain water pumps. These pumps continually pump water out of the cell. Describe a scenario that might reverse the action of the pump.

Answer 1

In order to reverse the action of the pump we will have to stop the pumping of the water out of the cell. We need to clog the pump so it can no longer pump out water. This will force the water to go back into the cell slowly but surely and reverse its course.
