6) Describe what will happen to a cell in the following 3 situations:
a. The environment outside of the cell has a lower concentration of water.
b. The environment outside the cell has a higher concentration of water.
c. The amount of water is equal inside and outside the cell.

Answer

  1. a. The cell will lose water to the environment through osmosis, potentially causing it to shrink or become plasmolyzed.

  2. b. The cell will gain water from the environment through osmosis, which may cause it to swell and potentially burst if too much water enters.

  3. c. There will be no net movement of water, and the cell will remain in equilibrium with its environment.
