Answer:

Sodium and water move into the cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium and water move into the cell. This is because

Cellular damage result in failure of the Na+/k+ pump, allowing movement of sodium ions into the cell. This concentration of sodium pulls water in, resulting in hydropic swelling. Cellular damage results in the cell's inability to perform normal metabolic functions because APT decreases and Osmotic finally pressure increases.
