Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. The cell membrane has been ruptured.

Step-by-step explanation:

ytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell. ... The presence of a cell wall prevents the membrane from bursting, so cytolysis only occurs in animal and protozoa cells which do not have cell walls.
