question 13
a human cell with.9% nacl is placed in a hypotonic solution that has 0% nacl, 100% h₂o, the cell will:
a remain the same size
b regain salt
c shrink
d swell

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration outside the cell), water moves into the cell by osmosis. Since the solution has 0% NaCl (lower solute concentration compared to the cell with 0.9% NaCl), water will flow into the cell. This causes the cell to swell.

Answer:

D. swell
