Which of the following statements best describes what happens when a bacterial cell is placed in a solution containing 5 percent nacl?
a) the cell will undergo osmotic lysis.
b) water will move into the cell.
c) sucrose will move into the cell from a higher to a lower concentration.
d) water will move out of the cell.
e) no change will result; the solution is isotonic.

The correct answer is option D

Water will move out of the cell

As a part of osmosis, the water moves from the high concentration (inside the cell) to the low concentration region (i.e into the 5% Nacl)

a scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of endocytosis is when transporting large molecules. a scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of exocytosis is when releasing the large molecule from the cell.
