Question

question 11 (1 point)
why does osmosis cause plant cells to swell? this is the ideal climate for plants.
o a osmosis leads water to moving into the cell
o b osmosis leads water to moving into the cell
o c osmosis leads to solutes to move into the cell
o d osmosis leads to solutes moving out of the cell

question 12 (1 point)
the process by which fluids enter a cell in bulk by being surrounded by the cell membrane, known as cell drinking, is called
o a osmosis
o b pinocytosis
o c cytolysis
o d phagocytosis

Explanation:

Question 11

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. When plant cells are in a hypotonic environment (lower solute concentration outside the cell compared to inside), water moves into the cell by osmosis. As water enters the cell, the cell swells.

• Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane.
• Pinocytosis is the process by which fluids enter a cell in bulk by being surrounded by the cell membrane (cell drinking).
• Cytolysis is the bursting of a cell.
• Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs solid particles.

Answer:

a. Osmosis leads water to moving into the cell
