If the interior of a cell is made of 20% NaCl and you place this cell in a solution that is 70% NaCl, which way will water flow in this scenario? A. The salt must be the one to move, not water. B. Water will flow out of the cell C. Water does not move in either direction D. Water will flow into the cell

Container "A" has a 2% NaCl salt solution and container "B" has a 10% NaCl salt solution. The two containers are separated by a semipermeable osmotic membrane. What will happen? a. water flows from A to B and NaCl moves from B to A b. water flows from B to A and NaCl moves from A to B c. nothing happens d. water flows from B to A and the salt does not move e. water flows from A to B and the salt does not move
when the solution outside the cell is hypertonic, which way will the water molecules in the cell move? a. In and out at a constant rate b. There will be no net movement c. Out of the cell d. Into the cell
