Question

  1. these cells (in which the cell membrane has pulled away from the cell wall are most likely in (salt or fresh water). this movement of water into/out of cells is called

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When a cell's membrane pulls away from the cell wall, it is due to water leaving the cell. This occurs in a hypertonic solution (salt water in this context as it has a higher solute concentration compared to the cell's interior). Osmosis is the process of water moving across a semi - permeable membrane (like the cell membrane) from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell initially) to an area of higher solute concentration (the salt water).

Answer:

salt water; osmosis
