Question 4
A student is investigating cellular transport. What will most likely occur when the student places a cell that is 95% water inside of a solution that is 100% water?
A
The cell will swell because water will enter it.
B
The cell will swell because it will produce more sugar.
С
The cell will shrink because it has less water than the solution
D
The cell will shrink because it has less sugar than the solution

A . The cell will swell because water will enter it.

Explanation:

The cell will swell because it will undergo a process known as Osmosis.

Osmosis is a process where water molecules move from an area with a higher concentration of water to an area with a lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.

That semi-permeable membrane in this case is the cell membrane and because the cell has less water than the solution, water will flow into the cell thereby causing it to swell.

answer: after carbon dioxide enters the leaf through stomata it moves into the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis occurs and glucose is constructed. respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy.

explanation:

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.
