Question

23 1 point Christy places a human red blood cell in distilled water, the cell swells,Which term describes the distilled water, and in which direction does the water move? Hypotonic; the water moves out of the cell Hypertonic; the water moves into the cell Hypertonic; the water moves out of the cell Hypotonic; the water moves into the cell

Answer 1

'D' - Hypotonic; the water moves into the cell.

Answer 2

## Step 1The problem involves the concept of osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. ## Step 2In this case, the red blood cell is placed in distilled water, which is a hypotonic solution. A hypotonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell than inside.## Step 3Due to the difference in solute concentration, water will move into the cell to balance the concentration. This movement of water into the cell causes the cell to swell.
