Well, The diffusion of water into and out of the cell determines how it will function, For example if too much water goes into a cell, it will become triggered and eventually burst, and too little or no water will dehydrate the cell which will make it shrink size

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now how about the hypothesis vervion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, really in a way I gave you one. Think about it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i guess but i want it to be simple like i think it will grow or melt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no it wouldnt making me sound blonde

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got a post for you to take part in this will be funny

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

ells, since they have a selectively permeable membrane, only H20 can 'osmosis' through it. When water enters the cell due to a high concentration of solute inside, the cell can explode. When too much water leaves the cell due a low concentration of solute outside, the water will leave the cell, effectively wilting the cell.

The diffusion of water into and out of the cell determines how it will function. For example to much of water going into a cell will make it become tirgid and eventually burst, and too little or no water will dehydrate the cell which will make it shrink.

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

If too much water comes into the cell, they will pop ("lyse"), if too much leaves the cell they'll become dehydrated.
