If a cell is isotonic in a 80% sucrose solution, how will the movement of water across the cell membrane affect the size of a cell if it is moved from an 80% sucrose solution to a 40% sucrose solution? A) The cell will reduce in size. B) The cell will increase in size. C) The cell will remain unaffected. D) The cell will increase in size first and then reduce in size.

Respuesta :

The environment and the inside of the cell will have the same concentration. If the cell is placed in a solution of a less sucrose solution, the water will get into the cell making it bigger in size. The movement of the water is from a portion of lower concentration to a portion of higher sucrose concentration.
