The diagram below shows a cell placed in a solution.

A cell is shown placed inside a beaker. It is labeled Cell. The solution inside the beaker is labeled 2% salt solution and the solution inside the cell is labeled 4% salt solution.

What will most likely happen to the cell?

It will expand as water moves out of it.
It will shrink as water moves out of it.
It will expand as water moves into it.
It will shrink as water moves into it.

Sagot :

The answer is the second option, it will shrink as water moves out of it.


The cell will shrink in size, losing water due to osmosis.

The most likely to happen to the cell is ; ( C ) It will expand as water moves into it

The movement of water in and out of a cell is based on osmosis .The cell membrane of the cell will regulate the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell. based on the solute concentration inside the cell and outside the cell.

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution ( i.e. a solution with a lower solute concentration as seen in the 2% salt solution ) the water molecules from the hypotonic solution will move into the cell which will cause the cell to be Turgid/expand over time.  

Hence we can conclude that the most likely thing to happen to the cell is ;  It will expand as water moves into it
