Answer:
The cell membrane has become completely permeable.
Step-by-step explanation:
When substances go in and out of cell the cell is permeable.
There are three ways the movement in and out of cell happens:
- Osmosis: particles move from high water potential to low water potential.
- Diffusion: particles move from high concentration area to low concentration area.
- Active transport: particles move from low concentration area to high concentration area.
The cell situation could be a hypotonic and hypertonic situation when too much water has moved in the cell causing swollen cells.
