Question 4
1 pts
A cell filled with a 0.7 M solution is placed into a dish containing a 0.4 M solution. The
cell's membrane is permeable to water but not to the solute. Which of the following
statements is correct?
The solute will tend to move into the cell
The solute will tend to move out of the cell.
The cell will shrivel
The solution outside of the cell is hypertonic to the solution inside of the cell
The cell could lyse
d. The cell could lyse, because the water concentration outside the cell is 0.6 while inside it’s 0.3, and water flows from high -> low. also the membrane isn’t permeable to the solute so the solute cannot move in or out. Please give this brainliest if this helped!
