Question

PLEASE RESPOND! EMERGENCY!!!!! 15 POINTS!

most animal cells are surrounded by a layer of water with dissolved substances. For animals cells to function normally, there should be equal amounts of water diffusing into and out of the cell. Which type of surrounding fluid would result in equal amounts of water diffusing into and out of a cell?

A. Water with a higher concentration of solutes than the cytosol.


B. water with a lower concentration of solutes than the cytosol.


C. Water with the same concentration of solutes as the cytosol

Answer 1

The fluid is called= isotonic

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. There is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

i hope this helps.
