A red blood cell can be used to model a typical animal cell. What would happen to a red blood cell placed in very salty water?
A. It would swell and burst as water moves into the cell, where there
is a higher concentration of water.
B. It would swell and burst because salt would be transported across
the cell membrane.
C. It would shrink as water moves out of the cell to where there is a
lower concentration of water.
D. It would stay the same size because salt cannot cross the cell
membrane.
